No problem. I have this funny idea that learning is never in vain :-)

Nope - I only briefly tried the card in windows to take the usb
trace. I'm using VDR in Linux. Would it be useful to test the card for
extended periods in windows? I'm afraid I'll run into other
instability issues with the windows machine :-)

OK - so I won't spend more time on that then.

One question though - since the frontend attach failed with the
firmware I extracted from the Hauppauge windows drivers, is it then
that this firmware is not compatible with the Linux driver?

I thought that the "babble" bit was never set, but sed'ing through my
kernel logs revealed two token values with "babble" bit set (out of
1887 transaction errors). Those token values with "babble" bit set
were _not_ transaction errors associated with a disconnects. I'd
say the disconnects do _not_ seem to be associated with babble.
