[pvrusb2] pvrusb2: Unknown parameter `initusbreset'

[Mike Isely]

Yes that's exactly it.

With the 2.6.27 kernel the pvrusb2 driver's use of USB reset was no 
longer safe.  The immediate workaround at the time was to use 
initusbreset=0 to force off the reset.  The actual fix is the complete 
removal of the reset and with that removal the module parameter went 
away as well.

The online documentation for the pvrusb2 driver mentions this change.  
Go here:

and read the paragraph about initusbreset.

Today the update changed the kernel to 2.6.27-10 and broke the PVRUSB2 driver again for me.  My wireless NIC works this time so rather than roll back I would like to try to fix it this time to avoid this cycle.  :-)
