I am trying to get my Hauppauge 1600 video/tuner card going, and need to copy firmware files. The instructions say to copy to /lib/firmware/kernel_version. I can’t find this directory in Opensuse. Where should they go?
Hi
Maybe just use /lib/firmware? Any modules would go
in /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/<module_type>

I saw /lib/firmware, but wasn’t sure about that directory. Is that like a “central” firmware directory for any kernel version? Debian has a /lib/firmware/kernel_version directory for each kernel installed. Sorry, I cut my Linux teeth on Debian, and the Suse file system is a little different. I didn’t want to hose my system:)

That was the right one! Dmesg shows it is working:
shawnr@fastback2:~> dmesg | grep Hauppauge
cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge card
tveeprom 2-0050: Hauppauge model 74551, rev C1A3, serial# 2600803
cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge HVR-1600
cx18-0: Initialized card #0: Hauppauge HVR-1600
Now I just have to get my cables ran to the PC to make sure. I just tried the 11.1 beta3, and the card is initialized at boot, so maybe this card will get easier to setup in the near future. Thanks for the info.
