A new pvrusb2 driver snapshot is available.  The driver changes are:

  (+) Log a description of the hardware when the driver is associated
      with said hardware.

  (+) Include hardware description in sysfs debuginfo output.

  (+) Implement some additional logic during initialization to
      differentiate between failures due to jammed hardware vs
      failures due to missing / messed up sub-device kernel modules.
      This should result in slightly more useful kernel messages about
      the problem.

  (+) Include patch from Mike Krufky to "disable the tda18271 slave
      tuner output / loop thru options when in low power mode" (this
      is specific to HVR-1950 and is only relevant for kernel 2.6.32
      or later).

These are all small tweaks, nothing really fantastic.

As usual, the pvrusb2 web site can be found at:

Also, for those using v4l-dvb, the following URL points to a Mercurial
repository which contains the same driver, suitably transformed for
direct use inside of v4l-dvb:
