[linux-dvb] [PATCH] femon: added option for the count of printed lines

[Hermann Gausterer]

hi

i changed femon to accept an option for the number of printed
lines; there is also a script attached which uses this to 
convenient print out the status of all dvb cards in a system! :-)
i think, this script should be added to dvb-apps.

patch is again

please reply in case of problems accepting the patch!
