Description of problem: cx18-firmware has been retired in Fedora 21 upwards. It contained the following 3 files, which are also in the upstream linux-firmware git repo: v4l-cx23418-apu.fw v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw v4l-cx23418-dig.fw I've offered to maintain cx18-firmware, but Josh Boyer on the fedora-devel list pointed out: These files are included in the upstream linux-firmware git repo. [jwboyer@lando linux-firmware]$ git log v4l-cx23418-* commit a699eb6997f21d4fc88526754824e90417749db6 Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab> Date: Fri Apr 3 07:33:20 2009 -0300 Add firmwares for three Conexant chipsets for cx18, cx23885 and cx23840 Add firmwares for those V4L/DVB devices: CX23418 PCI Broadcast A/V with MPEG encoder CX25843 sideport Broadcast A/V decoder CX23885 PCI Express Broadcast A/V decoder Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab> It would probably make a lot more sense just to get them included in the Fedora linux-firmware package. josh Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): linux-firmware-20150213-43.git17657c35.fc21.noarch If you could add these three firmware files to linux-firmware, this would let me close bug #1203379. Thanks, Simon
I'll get to this tomorrow most likely.
Is there anything I can do to progress this bug?
My apologies. I fixed this in git quite a while ago, but haven't done an update yet. I will try and do so today.

This package conflicts with ivtv-firmware now as a result of this inclusion. Is that to be expected? I have no idea honestly why ivtv-firmware is installed (on all my systems that is) in the first place.

As many have noted, there's a conflict now. Sigh. I've pulled the updates from updates-testing until I can get it fixed.

I just installed F23 on a machine with one of these tuner cards. Booting took a long time. When I looked at dmesg output, I saw: [ 10.524043] ivtv 0000:04:01.0: Direct firmware load for v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw failed with error -2 [ 10.524050] ivtv1: Unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 376836 bytes) [ 10.524053] ivtv1: Did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? [ 10.524055] ivtv1: Retry loading firmware [ 126.916248] audit_printk_skb: 33 callbacks suppressed so the system spun its wheels for almost two minutes looking for firmware that is no longer automatically installed. The error message does not really give me enough information to know that all I have to do is "dnf install ivtv-firmware". Is there a way that we can make this more discoverable? [Sorry for piggybacking on an old bug. I don't think that the F23 situation is a bug but google will direct people with my problem to this bug report.]
