[pvrusb2] WinTV HVR-1975 (with official drivers) failing to load firmware

[isely at isely.net]

Ian:

Wait a second.  Now I'm confused.  Are you or are not using the pvrusb2 
driver?  The error you quoted was definitely phrasing that would have 
come from the pvrusb2 driver.  If you're using something else entirely 
different I'd be VERY curious know why the resemblence.

Also - to others here - I'm confused about something else.  This sounds 
like we're talking about 3 drivers:

1. The pvrusb2 driver, in the kernel mainline.

2. Something on the Hauppauge web site, apparently freely accessible.

3. Something from Hauppauge that can't be acquired without an NDA.

Is this correct?  Anyone, chime in.

  -Mike
