Bug Description
I have a Hauppauge hvr-2200 and am using it on Mythbuntu Lucid. The firmware for the card is not included in Mythbuntu and has to be manually extracted and moved to the lib firmware folder each kernel update.
I've managed to make the card work by:
(1) putting it in the machine and then reading dmesg, which said that it couldn't load the firmware (someone else's output follows):
[ 5.065271] saa7164[0]: Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver.
[ 5.065272] saa7164[0]: Try to pick one of the existing card configs via
[ 5.065273] saa7164[0]: card=<n> insmod option. Updating to the latest
[ 5.065273] saa7164[0]: version might help as well.
[ 5.065276] saa7164[0]: Here are valid choices for the card=<n> insmod option:
[ 5.065278] saa7164[0]: card=0 -> Unknown
[ 5.065280] saa7164[0]: card=1 -> Generic Rev2
[ 5.065281] saa7164[0]: card=2 -> Generic Rev3
[ 5.065283] saa7164[0]: card=3 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250
[ 5.065285] saa7164[0]: card=4 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200
[ 5.065286] saa7164[0]: card=5 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200
[ 5.065288] saa7164[0]: card=6 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200
[ 5.065290] saa7164[0]: card=7 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250
[ 5.065291] saa7164[0]: card=8 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250
(2) I then followed these instructions http://
(3) this didn't work and gave an error about not finding the firmware to upload, so I had to extract the firmware with the instructions here http://
I understand why my card is not yet supported, but I don't understand why the firmware is not included. Is it a licensing issue?

Hi Aaron,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 579783
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
