Ditto. If you upgrade frequently (ie. Gentoo here ;-), whether you upgrade your kernel or lirc packages, you might have problems. For instance, I've personally experienced a situation where lirc (init or modules?) would conflict with the firmware uploading, causing little to no error mentioned within dmesg. I was mystified for a while as to why I couldn't upgrade my kernel. Since I enjoy stability of reliable working h/w along with frequent package upgrades, and I almost never use the IR remotes, I disabled lirc entirely. If you use Windows, well, know wonder why stuff just works all the time. Just omit any package upgrading! ;-) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
