As updating an LNA (or something else) is very board specific, I put 
callback "update_lna" in dib3000mc_config. I will call this after starting 
the AGCs to see if the LNA has to be turned on or not (taking the agc 
response into account). For that I would like to know, what is the gain of 
the LNA when turned on? (So that I can adjust the thresholds when to turn 
on or off). Maybe we need to make an average of both channels, not that we 
kill one channel by only taking the other one into account. 

Or is a module_parameter enough? (I don't like this, because the majority 
of users does not even now what is a module, which is good).

best regards,
Patrick.
