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

  (+) Minor internal changes that track ongoing changes within
      v4l-dvb.

  (+) Associate all pvrusb2-driven V4L device nodes in sysfs with the
      underlying USB device.  This allows udev to see the hardware
      device properties, which in turn makes possible customization of
      the V4L device node setup via rules added to udev.  Note that
      this implementation only works for kernels back to 2.6.24 -
      before that point the feature is disabled because I cannot find
      a way to cleanly break the V4L->USB device association when the
      USB device goes away before the V4L device (a fact of life in a
      hotplug environment).

That second change is small but mighty.  Now you can use udevinfo and
get lots more information about the device.  This should address the
issue raised by Martin Dauskardt back on 4-Jul (I'll post another
reply to that thread shortly).

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