In fact any dvb-driver driver has this problem when it is not using a separate frontend-module, but using the module from "inside". (vp702x, gp8psk, vp7045, dtt200u) dvb_frontend is decrementing the use_count when releasing the driver. dvb_attach is incrementing it, but you can only use dvb_attach on EXPORT_SYMBOL-functions. Trent Piepo was suggesting a solution, but no one ever had time to solve this problem. In fast this is only a propblem for developers, not so much for the average users as he is not unloading the module usually. thanks for your great work, Patrick. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
