Mageia forum

I'm not 100% sure what has happened but when I first installed Mageia 3 beta 3, 64 bit, Kaffeine found my USB TV tuner no problems and I watched TV. However tonighted I booted up and it wasn't working, so I ran dmesg and found this:

So somewhere along the lines dvb-usb-af9015.fw must have gone missing.

Any ideas?

It's in kernel-firmware-nonfree so install it from package manager and reboot.

No, it's not, but you can do it manually and easily, http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices

wget http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af901 ... -af9015.fw
su -c "mv dvb-usb-af9015.fw /lib/firmware"

Yeah, I did it manually as soon as the problem occured.

But why did it work when I first installed and now it has gone? Should it be in there?
