[Boris Epstein]

Hi all,

Just upgaded to OpenSuSE 11 and my PVR USB2 (29022 series) has gone
missing. The message which has accompanied that has accompanied that
even reads as follows:

After that is goes "missing", so much so that lsusb no longer displays it.

The device worked fine under 10.3 Attempts to extract firmware from
the Windows drivers have thus far failed.

Any idea what could have lead to this?

The kernel I am running is:

Linux vorkuta 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2008-07-13 20:48:28 +0200 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks.

Boris.
