ok, looks like the patch has fixed the issue in my initial response, but now i've got a new issue (related?) when i reboot - the dvb-usb-af9015 module is not being loaded. if i try to modprobe it (sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015), then i get the error: FATAL: Error inserting dvb_usb_af9015 (/lib/modules/2.6.38-12-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-af9015.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg |tail: [ 170.406969] dvb_usb_af9015: Unknown parameter `adapter' thats the only 2 lines related to the issue. what i did was apply the patch that Malcolm sent to me, and then rebooted. af9015 still not working, so removed USB device and reinserted. tuner now worked flawlessly. gave the PC a reboot, and now i've got the above error. any ideas? -- 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
