Hauppauge HVR-2255 Capture Card Not Recognized in 20.04

[bilkay]

This is a fresh installation of 20.04. I copied Hauppauge's firmware file to /lib/firmware, but it fails with the following:

This card worked in 14.04 and 16.04. I remember having to put in a 20 sec. delay for something, but I'll be damned if I remember how I did it, or if it solved this particular problem.

Here's the relevant syslog entry in 16.04:

Check permissions and filename capitalization:

sudo ls -la /lib/firmware/NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw

That's not the problem, but looking at the directory listing, I noticed that the one I installed is different (size) from the one running under 16.04. I hope this solves it. Thanks for the tip.
