I'll test it with other cards, maybe it will work at least a bit.

All I can say right now is that the driver did not build yesterday (missing #include <linux/slab.h>). -- Ondrej Zary -- 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
