We need ivtv 0.7.x for 2.6.17 kernel compatiblity.

Updated ebuild

I have made some changes to the ivtv-0.6.3 ebuild to get ivtv-0.7.0 working on a 2.6.17 kernel.  Biggest change was in the kernel config checks.  This works for my Hauppauge PVR-150, but I'm not sure what modules need to be included in the kernel for other cards.

I've already got an ebuild written. Thanks though. It'll go into Portage soon.

Fixed.

Here's a patch that I used to get 0.7.0 working on my box with a pvr-350....I've changed a few things because the firmware you use wasn't working with my card, and the way I do it should work with all cards. There's a new firmware package available (that includes v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw for my pvr-350). Take a look, and I hope you can use it...
Later,

P.S.
Let me know if it's all fscked up...

The current ebuild provides that firmware file. The current ebuild also ships with the recommended firmware files.

As I explained in a different bug, there are issues with the new firmware packaging which is why they went away off the IVTV wiki and were reverted to the original ones.
