The usb/ir issue came up as soon as I moved to 3.13-rc8. (As I said, this was not the only change strictly speaking, given that I moved from Ubuntu to OpenElec, so there can well be other relevant distro-related changes) Unfortunately I prefer deep intellectual efforts which don't require much time... Is it possible to simply bypass the nobody cared error, given that the IR appears to work fine, despite the constant uptick in interrupts? (And indeed is it possible that older kernels were simply more forgiving about this sort of thing?) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
