if a system contains multiple DVB cards of the same type, how is the order of devices determined by the driver/kernel? I use 2 Technotrend S2-3200 cards in a system and observerd that if I load the driver driver budget_ci manually as follows: modprobe budget_ci adapter_nr=0,1 the device with the lower pci ID 0000:08:00.0 is assigned to adapter0 and the device with the higher pci ID 0000:08:01.0 is assigned to adapter1: udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) [...] looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:08:00.0': KERNELS=="0000:08:00.0" SUBSYSTEMS=="pci" udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0) [...] looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:08:01.0': KERNELS=="0000:08:01.0" SUBSYSTEMS=="pci" Is it true for all DVB drives that the device with the lower PCI id gets the lower adapter name? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
