[Thorsten Hirsch <t.hirsch@xxxxxx>]

Hi Chase,

well, I subscribed to the linux-media mailing list already and told
them about this issue. But when I explained my plans to build a new
firmware file, they told me that I was totally on the wrong track. The
firmware should be fine. And other em28xx/xc3028 cards work.

Since my device also suffers under an eeprom data loss, I think I have
no chance to help solving this issue until someone gives me a dump of
his cinergy usb xs eeprom.

Here's the most interesting post:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg20437.html
Unfortunately it was also the last one concerning my issue.

Bug description:
Though the driver is included in the kernel, the correct firmware file is missing. I've got a firmware file with the same name from an older version of the driver, but it gets rejected.
