described  here http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TeVii_S470.

My configuration is :

- tevii_ds3000.tar.gz (firmware archive from
http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz ),

A problem appear when tunning card using szap-s2 :

# szap-s2 szap-s2 -c /root/channels.conf -x -M 5 -C 89 -l 9750 -S 1 MyCh

reading channels from file '/root/channels.conf'

ds3000_firmware_ondemand: No firmware uploaded (timeout or file not found?)

Apparently it can't locate a firmware file,  yet :

# ls -l  /lib/firmware/
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         8192 May  3 07:09 dvb-fe-ds3000.fw

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks and best regards,
