Hauppauge PVR-150 with Ubuntu Dapper?

[Dave M G]

Ubuntu Users,

    In order to install my PVR-150 video card on my system, I dutifuly 
followed the instructions on this web page:
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Ubuntu

    Some key differences to not are that the instructions are for the 
Breezy release, and I'm on Dapper. However, I couldn't find any 
resources that spelled out what the differences would be, so I thought I 
would go for it.

    The one thing that might have been an issue was in some place, it 
said to copy some files over to a /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ directory, 
which didn't exist. So I just made the directory and put whatever was 
required in there.

    Everything went okay, until the very last part, where it says to run 
dmesg, and check the output. Specifically, the instructions say: "If, at 
the end of the output of dmesg (or /var/log/syslog), you see a section 
starting with ==START INIT IVTV== and ending with ==END INIT IVTV==, you 
are in good shape, as long as the text in between these markers is not 
filled with errors."

    Unfortunately, I do see errors. But it doesn't really say what to do 
about them or how.

    The errors seem to be that I didn't load some files into the 
firmware directory. But I specifically made a firmware directory, so 
what's up with that?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.
