Firstly i must say i not use the bitstream-plugin, but i have the

- kernel CommandRequest timeout waiting for COMMAND to complete
- kernel StopHWFilter error

errors also. With driver from over the last weeks, with ci-cam firm and with
link-layer firm.

I use 2 Full featured Cards Rev 1.3, 2 Ci-Interfaces (one 3.5" Front
Interface) without Camīs inserted. At the moment i use cvs from 19-03-03
with  hw_sections=0 hardcoded in av7110.c

I think not the plugin caused the errors, because i have this error without
it;)
Also i have day with masses of

- kernel CommandRequest timeout waiting for COMMAND to complete
- kernel soutcommand error

in logfile, mostly on the second card, and mostly when i havenīt disable the
vdr epg scan.
