No. I turns out, I'm careless. The semicolons in a struct
initialization are wrong; they should be commas. Try the latest here:

If your patch has more changes, then yes please send it.

I haven't found time to upgrade either of my two systems to 2.26.30
because they are heavily used. I'm making patches for this without
compiling.

Regards,
Andy

If I can be of help with this testing, please let me know. I generally
move to the newest kernels about as soon as Gentoo puts them in ~arch.
(Kind of like Debian unstable, but I only run my kernels and a few
select packages that way, not the whole machine.) Oops, this machine is
only at 2.6.30-gentoo-r5, and r6 came out last week. How slovenly of
me. (Come to think of it, this update was the infamous kernel security
problem, so I'd better get on the stick.)

Sounds like I want to stick with drivers from the v4l-dvb website until
2.6.32, I guess.

Dale,

Well, Dustin has helped me fix my two 5 sytax errors with this one.
Feel free to test though, if you use ir-kbd-i2c for receiving IR.

I need to get some new drives and setup either some new partitions or
virtual machines, so maybe upgrading won't be so painful.

If you want HVR-1600 IR to work with your setup, then yes I guess so.
