Some of my solutions have been * disconnect and reconnect the device... * use a different USB port * if an external USB hub is involved, disconnect and reconnect that (sometimes certain ports fly south for no obvious reason) * if needed, disconnect and reconnect power to any USB hubs or other devices (like if your device gets powered elsewhere) * if nothing else works, reboot your machine, * if that fails, completely power-cycle your machine, so that all hardware has a chance to reset and start from cold state. In exceptional cases, your hardware could have somehow been damaged, if a particular USB port always gives this type of error. hope that's useful barry bouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
