Two of the patches are huge (sigh), one drops the dibusb driver, and the other adds a generalized dvb-usb driver. Both dibusb and dvb-usb were written by Patrick Boettcher, and dvb-usb is a refactored version of the dibusb driver, extended to support a whole zoo of devices. Unforunately the dvb-usb patch comes with some incompatible changes to the dibcom frontend drivers, so we can't have both the dibusb and the dvb-usb drivers. The dvb-usb driver has been in CVS for more than a month and is considered stable by its author. The two big patches probably exceed the mailing list limit and are also available here: http://linuxtv.org/downloads/patches/2.6.12-rc4-3/quilt/dvb-remove-dibusb-driver.patch http://linuxtv.org/downloads/patches/2.6.12-rc4-3/quilt/dvb-add-dvb-usb-driver.patch Please apply. Thanks, Johannes
