Re: driver problem: cx231xx error -71 with Hauppauge USB live2 on Ubuntu 11.04, netbook edition

[Doychin Dokov <root@net1.cc>]

I'm having the same problem, on Ubuntu Server 11.04 x64, kernel 
2.6.38-10. I've also tried Debian with the same results. Here's the 
debug log from the Ubuntu installation:

This is with the stock kernel, no media_build tree installed (I'm 
currently compiling it).
