Hello all.
It has been a while since my last post because thankfully I have had trouble-free computing! Now I have encountered a problem when trying to create a Myth .24 setup on a fresh, clean OpenSuse11.3 installation.
I have installed the OS and then installed Myth (using packman repo) and started to configure it (ie created the DB and the specific Myth schemas) however when I try to configure the card I am told “Unable to open the device”.
I am far from an expert here but found that if I do lsusb and dmesg | grep dvb, I can find a little more about the problem …
bgrsvr-u:~ # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2040:8400 Hauppauge
bgrsvr-u:~ # dmesg | grep dvb
11.271382] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-TD-500 (84xxx)' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

nb; Irrelevent outputs of ls -l and lsusb have been removed.
I downloaded the FW fle from the internet (sorry forgot to bookmark the source) and moved into the “/lib/firmware” folder.
Anyone any ideas what’s going on please?
