Hello.  I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR external TV card.
I'm trying to get it to work with Gentoo Linux.  I think I've followed
the steps found at
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1900 correctly,
but I'm still getting errors.  When I plug the TV card into the USB slot
in the back of the computer and search dmesg, it says:

michael@carter /lib/firmware $ dmesg | grep pvrusb2
pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV HVR-1950 Model 751xx
usbcore: registered new interface driver pvrusb2

pvrusb2: Did you install the pvrusb2 firmware files in their proper
location?

I've emerged linuxtv-dvb-firmware and reissued the above command with no
change.  How do I get Gentoo to recognize this card?
