Mark, it just occurred to me this is probably more of a question should be asked within your distro's support forum (ie. IRC, Web Board Forums, etc).

I don't use RedHat/Fedora and I think Mike uses Debian.

Also note, pvrusb2 is now included within the kernel now.  (Older
versions were released as patches -- six months to a year now since
pvrusb2 was included w/i the kernel?)

I don't know if anybody is going to have any better advice here on this
one.  ... besides correcting my data, lol.
