You're right, dvb_attach() expects the function will return a pointer, so NULL == failure. dvb_attach() does a symbol_put() on failure, but not on success, since it needs to keep a reference to the module it attached to. It's important that symbol_get() (via symbol_request) is called _before_ the attach function is called, and that symbol_put() is called _after_ the release function. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
