The cx25840 module is not included with the standalone pvrusb2 driver. Rather, this module is part of the v4l-dvb repository. We will have to apply the patch there. There *are* a few modules included with the standalone pvrusb2 driver - in the "ivtv" area of the tarball. However these are very old and are only present to allow the driver to be used with very old kernels that otherwise don't include these modules. The cx25840 module is not in that set; it arrived on the scene later and any PVR USB2 device which might need that module wouldn't have a chance of running in those older kernels anyway. (If you're curious as to why, you can find more detail here: "http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/setup.html#Prerequisites";.) Honestly I haven't tested against those old modules in a very very long time. It's entirely likely that they don't even work anymore. (What I have been doing before releasing each snapshot is to test compile the driver against each kernel release going back to 2.6.12, but that's really it.) -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
