[pvrusb2] HVR-1950 gets wedged

[stan schultz]

I have a brand new HVR-1950 and am trying to install it on Linux version
2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686

When my system comes up, I get the following in /var/log/message:

I have since fetched the *avcore* firmware, but I didn't think I needed
that. and, the load fails anyways.

I pulled both your 2008/10/19 drivers and your 2009/3/15 drivers.  Currently
using the 10/19 version as it referenced the fix for the wedged chip.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Stan
