Yeah, the frontend becomes powered down during the unload/reload. The current detection code does not detect the frontend once this has occurred. I did submit a patch for this a few months back, but unfortunately, nothing has happened with it, perhaps because the code necessary to re-detect it when it is powered down is quite nasty. A neater solution would just be to disable the code which powers the frontend down. -- adq -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
