It did at the beginning of December, but does not work reliably anymore.
At the moment I have to load/unload several times until it works.

I am using Linux kernel 2.6.10-rc2 with video4linux from 13. December
and various dvb-kernel versions from CVS.

Unfortunately not. Also adding a msleep after the reset does not
help (well, this did not change much in December too).

Kind regards,
