Did a reboot just to verify, still getting those, scan gives no results always "tuning failed". Then i reverted another patch (just to make sure.. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f4acb3c4ccca74f5448354308f917e87ce83505a) - However, this didn't help. So, the problem might be somewhere else. I did some more research and it seems i'm not the only one with those issues, tho nearly none gets answers regarding this trouble, e.g.: (same card - also expresscard, december 2010) http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg27042.html (not the same card, tho similar error, hvr 1500, i got hvr 1400 - februar 2009) http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-February/031839.html I'm running out of ideas where the problem might be located. i also tried to switch the firmware by extracting the firmware manually, didn't help. There's a low power version and another one available, tried to replace, didn't work neither. So it seems, this driver is broken at least since december 2010. Totally weird why there's such a mess, i know for sure that this WAS working. Anyone, any idea? Maybe something wrong configured in kernel? Might running native 64bit the cause (no multilib/32bit compat libs here)? > I knew this all seemed too familiar... :) > > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=67914b5c400d6c213f9e56d7547a2038ab5c06f4 > > Its already being reverted for 2.6.38 final (hopefully -- Mauro included > that in the pull req sent to Linus today).
