This workaround is of course rather awkward. Users who need this will have a hard time to work out that this parameter needs to be set and how. Furthermore, the web site of Digital Everywhere says that hey stopped manufacturing and ramped down support, hence it looks like this issue will stay with us forever. Isn't there a CA command that could be (mis)used for some kind of probing of the CAM for correct system IDs? E.g. a loop which retries a kind of dummy operation with different system IDs until success, initially during fdtv_dvb_register/ fdtv_ca_register? (I don't know how CI works, and alas I don't have a CAM myself for testing and am not very keen on getting one...) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- --== ----= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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
