I have a Twinhan 1041 card and I have problems with the s2-liplianin driver which I have not fully understood yet. 1) Scan-s2 works for a while but in a long scan I eventually I start getting "Slave RACK Fail !" messages in dmesg and scan-s2 hangs. Perhaps increasing= to msleep(15) in mantis_ack_wait helps (it hasn't eliminated the problem), but= I am not sure. There are messages in /var/log/messages from stb6100_[set/get]_[frequency/b= andwidth] which say "Invalid parameter". Only shutting down the computer and restarti= ng seems to recover from this once it has happened. 2) szap-s2 works for a while after a cold start, but I think if you stop it= and leave it for 30 seconds or so the card goes into sleep mode and after that szap-s2 hangs= . Strangely when this happens a short scan-s2 run (not long enough to get the "Slave RACK Fa= il!" problem) can wake the card up again, and szap-s2 works after that. But szap-s2 can't wake it= up itself and hangs in get_pmt_pid on the line if (((count =3D read(patfd, buf, sizeof(buft))) < 0) && errno =3D=3D EOVERF= LOW){ When it goes into sleep mode I see the following in dmesg: [ 522.821625] _stb0899_read_reg: Reg=3D[0xf12a], data=3D58 = = [ 522.821632] stb0899_i2c_gate_ctrl: Disabling I2C Repeater ... = = [ 522.821634] stb0899_write_regs [0xf12a]: 58 = = [ 522.822681] stb0899_sleep: Going to Sleep .. (Really tired .. :-)) So the Twinhan 1041 is quite useless for me at the moment. > = > Few weeks ago Hans Werner applied changes for scan-s2 to work with his > rotor.
