Yes. But the above log excerpt tells me that you are using the latest
firmware (261a), so it shouldn't matter which CiMAX version you have.

With the change you wrote about in the PM you sent me (any reason why you din't
post that within this thread?), can you say that the "Tc->Poll() returned 128"
line's occurrence coincides with the moment from which on encrypted channels
no longer work? Are there any other CAM related error messages in the log when
encrypted channels no longer work?
