And to add my own experience with your patch, Jürgen: It is a complete success story! No frontend lockups, even no problems while switching - tuning is absolutely reliable now.
Same here! I checked out a clean alps_tdlb7.c and applied the patch. I get occasional "firmware lockup!"s followed by "lockup recovered", I once got a double lockup with a succeding recovery. Very good! /ragge -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to ecartis@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
