I'm happy with my current solution now, also, is there already such tool 
available which reprograms the EEPROM? In addition I think users will first 
test other PWM values *before* touching the card's EEPROM permanently (this 
can be perhaps also a warranty issue, if e.g. writing to EEPROM fails and 
card is going unusable). 
Could you at least unify the logging lines and extend them with the card 
number? 
BTW: I have already extend the driver to limit the AFC log lines until next 
"init chip", after minor review I will send it to you. Would be helpful in 
such cases where users want to see all the ves1820 messages, but not get 
continuous AFC log lines during running vdr with 2 or more cards.
