V4L/DVB (7786): cx18: new driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG encoder chip Many thanks to Steve Toth from Hauppauge and Nattu Dakshinamurthy from Conexant for their support. I am in particular thankful to Hauppauge since without their help this driver would not exist. It should also be noted that Steve did the work to get the DVB part up and running. Thank you!

2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work.
The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is

improve over time.
Firmware:
The firmware needs to be extracted from the Windows Hauppauge HVR-1600
driver, available here:
http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/install_cd/hauppauge_cd_3.4d1.zip
Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory
and rename them as follows:
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18apu.rom -> v4l-cx23418-apu.fw
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18enc.rom -> v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18mlC.rom -> v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
