-Some DVB cards and many newer frontends require proprietary,
-binary-only firmware.
-
-The DVB drivers will be converted to use the request_firmware()
-hotplug interface (see linux/Documentation/firmware_class/).
-(CONFIG_FW_LOADER)
-
-That means you will have to install recent hotplug scripts
-which include an /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to support this.
-http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/
-(Call /sbin/hotplug without arguments to find out if the
-firmware agent is installed.)
-
-The firmware.agent script expects firmware binaries in
-/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/. To avoid naming and versioning
-conflicts we propose the following naming scheme:
-
-  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-{driver}-{ver}.fw	for MPEG decoders etc.
-  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-fe-{driver}-{ver}.fw	for frontends
-
-  {driver} name is the basename of the driver kernel module (e.g. dvb-ttpci)
-  {ver} is a version number/name that should change only when the
-  driver/firmware internal API changes (so users are free to install the
-  latest firmware compatible with the driver).
-
-Currently the drivers still use various different methods
-to load their firmwares, so here's just a short list of the
-current state:
-
-- dvb-ttpci: firmware is compiled in (av7110_firm.h)
-- ttusb-budget: firmware is compiled in (dvb-ttusb-dspbootcode.h)
-- sp887x: firmware is compiled in (sp887x_firm.h)
-- alps_tdlb7: firmware is loaded from path specified by
-		"mcfile" module parameter; the binary must be
-		extracted from the Windows driver (Sc_main.mc).
-- tda1004x: firmware is loaded from path specified in
-		DVB_TDA1004X_FIRMWARE_FILE kernel config
-		variable (default /etc/dvb/tda1004x.bin); the
-		firmware binary must be extracted from the windows
-		driver
