Thanks for spotting this, although I don't know what has gone wrong here
yet. (I don't know the DVB net code very well).

I'll review this, have a talk with the original author and then send an
update patch.

Unfortunately, I don't notice every patch that goes directly into 2.6
without getting postet on the linux-dvb mailinglist. Now if someone
changes stuff in our CVS in the same file, it can happen that the stuff
from the kernel is wiped out.

CU
Michael.
