<div><div>Great idea. I have myself a Nova-T 500 and an Avermedia A700 and I've finally had to blacklist both modules for udev and manually loading later the drivers in the desired order. This is the only way I get always the same nunbering schema. <br>
<br>If not, I was getting the following crazy situation:<br><ul><li>dvb0: A700, dvb1/2 for the Nova T-500 when cold booting<br></li><li>dvb0 Nova-T 500, dvb1 A700 and dvb2 Nova T-500 again when rebooting<br></li></ul>Best regards, <br>

Subject: [linux-dvb] [PATCH] Add driver specific module option to choose dvb adapter numbers, second try<br>Hi,<br> <br> I resubmit this patch since I still think it is a good idea to the this<br> driver option. There is still no udev recipe to guaranty stable dvb<br>
adapter numbers. I've tried to come up with some rules but it's tricky<br> due to the multiple device nodes in a subdirectory. I won't claim that<br> it is impossible to get udev to assign driver or hardware specific<br>
stable dvb adapter numbers but I think this patch is easier and more<br> clean than a udev based solution.<br> <br> I'll drop this patch if a simple udev solution is found in a reasonable<br> amount of time. But if there is no I would like to see the attached<br>
patch merged.<br> <br> Quoting myself for a short desciprtion for the patch:<br> <br> > V4L drivers have the {radio|vbi|video}_nr module options to allocate<br> > static minor numbers per driver.<br> ><br> > Attached patch adds a similiar mechanism to the dvb subsystem. To<br>
> avoid problems with device unplugging and repluging each driver holds<br> > a DVB_MAX_ADAPTER long array of the preffered order of adapter<br> > numbers.<br> ><br> > options dvb-usb-dib0700 adapter_nr=7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 would result in a<br>
> reversed allocation of adapter numbers.<br> ><br> > With adapter_nr=2,5 it tries first to get adapter number 2 and 5. If<br> > both are already in use it will allocate the lowest free adapter<br> > number.<br>
