device.

Software Environment:
The following DVB related modules are loaded
dvb_usb_nova_t_usb2   dvb_usb_dibusb_common  dib3000mc dvb_usb   dvb_core    
dvb_pll    

Problem Description:

Unplugging the DVB USB card hangs the computer.

Plug in USB with DVB device,
Play a stream (using kaffeine)
Unplug the USB while stream is playing.
-> THe computer hangs and needs a reset.

There are no messages, so it is tricky to debug for me.


It basically means that a user can scrash the computer. Given the commonplace 
of USB dvb cards nowadays, this bug is becoming more relevant.
