I've ported the driver to -current (see the private mail I sent you and John the patches). My card is a PVR 350, french version. Its tuner (Philips FM1216ME, PAL/SECAM) is unsupported at the moment. I'm working on it but had only limited success so far, if anyone could help me find the datasheets for the FM1216ME and/or the SAA7115 it would be much easier. > What can go wrong: > - Complaints about checksum mismatch of the hcwPVRP2.sys: run "make > makesum" and try again. I have a suggestion: why not make the firmware loadable from userland? This would save 512Kb of precious kernel memory, allow for easier firmware upgrades and possibly allow the rest of the sources to be integrated in FreeBSD. I can work on it if I ever get my tuner to work :-) -- A: Yes.
