But if I assume, that there is only *one* driver that is loaded (e.g. budget_av) for all dvb cards in the system, how is the ordering of these devices determined? How does the driver "search" for available dvb cards? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
