Bug Description
The current pvrusb2 driver doesn't work with recent HVR-190x firmware.
-> The kernel error is:
pvrusb2: wrong fx2 firmware size
-> Here's the thread discussing the problem in 9.10
http://
-> This is the text describing the update:
A new pvrusb2 driver snapshot is available. The one change is:
(+) Further fix to support use of larger FX2 16KB firmware. Missed
one spot in the firmware loader and forgot to include HVR-1900
alongside HVR-1950 in the set of devices which could load the
larger firmware.
Thanks to Gary Francis for keeping me honest - including the extra
push to make me actually pay attention to his patch which is the
change described above.
And sorry for missing this before.
This snapshot also includes the snazzy new fwextract.pl along with
updated documentation.
As usual, the pvrusb2 web site can be found at:

The summary from the linked email thread is that there are two ways to solve this for 10.04:
1. package and distribute an older version (8KB rather than 16 KB) of the firmware
2. backport a .33 kernel patch to the Ubuntu .32 kernel
