Hi, I've started using again my Win TV NOVA T USB2 after a while (1 month) and I've noticed this strange behaviour.
When I unload the modules (either by unplugging the USB cable or doing a make unload) I cannot remove any more the modules dib3000mc and dvb_pll. Afterwards, if I plug it in again, nothing happens any more. I've tried more times and the behaviour does not change. My configuration is Fedora 5 Kernel compiled from source 2.6.17.8 V4L as of now (mercurial) WinTV NOVA T USB2 (I think if the "first" revision since it used to work with the old firmware). I have to add that this is the first day I've used the 2nd firmware, which I've found in http://thadathil.net:8000/dvb/fw/dvb-usb/ This is the output of dmesg Aug 20 22:30:47 thinkpad kernel: usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Aug 20 22:30:47 thinkpad kernel: usb 4-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Aug 20 22:30:47 thinkpad kernel: dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T usb2' in cold state, will try to load a firmware Aug 20 22:30:47 thinkpad kernel: dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2-02.fw' Aug 20 22:30:47 thinkpad kernel: usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_nova_t_usb2 Aug 20 22:30:48 thinkpad kernel: usb 4-4: USB disconnect, address 3 Aug 20 22:30:48 thinkpad kernel: dvb-usb: generic DVB-USB module successfully deinitialized and disconnected.

In the past I've plugged in and out the TV card many times (since this is the only free USB port I have) without any problems. Any ides about that?
