Old firmware - again af9013 4.65.0 ?!?

Old firmware - again af9013 4.65.0 ?!?

[schollsky]

Hi there,

in the meantime I've switched over to Arch Linux - you probably appreciate the choice. I did this because of the lean system and a more recent kernel (now 2.6.28 series). After compiling the latest v4l-dvb version, an

$ lsmod | grep af

results to the following:

af9013                 21636  1 
dvb_usb_af9015         26400  0 
dvb_usb                20492  1 dvb_usb_af9015
i2c_core               22804  6 mc44s803,af9013,dvb_usb_af9015,dvb_usb,i2c_nforce2,nvidia
usbcore               136848  5 dvb_usb_af9015,dvb_usb,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd

The correct tuner module seems to be loaded. So far, so good. But dmesg | grep af shows it all:

[..]
af9013: firmware version:4.65.0
usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_af9015

This is the same when installing no firmware, or installing the file from

http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/4.95.0/

into /lib/firmware, which should load 4.95.0 firmware. 

What's going wrong?

It (firmware 4.65.0) must be somewhere where it is downloaded to the device.
Does it say it is loading fw from file?

firmware: requesting dvb-usb-af9015.fw
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-af9015.fw'

Run "updatedb" as root and then search where it is lurking by
"locate dvb-usb-af9015.fw". And remember also replug stick, take account 
that without re-plug it could be even downloaded by old windoze driver.
