Description edm 2010-01-18 21:06:56 UTC 
This is a know problem with this dvb-t card.
If the ir receiver is disabled via modprobe option (adding this parameter in modprobe.conf: "#options dvb_usb disable_rc_polling=1") I cannot use it but the card works perfectly, but if I try to activate it (removing that option) and i launch the lircd daemon, I obtain a "usb halt" as described below in this old message in the linux-media ml.

klogd: ehci_hcd 0000:04:00.2: force halt; handhake f8018014 00004000
00000000 -> -110

Here, the writer find the commit that cause this regression: http://osdir.com/ml/linux-media/2009-08/msg00185.html
Here is explained when it was introduced: http://osdir.com/ml/linux-media/2009-08/msg00182.html

It seems that this problem is present only with a via usb controller, unfortunately i have this one:

 lspci | grep -i via
01:08.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 62)
01:08.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 62)
01:08.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 65)

Tell me if you need additional info.
I'm using a 2.6.32 kernel on arch linux.
Other relevant modprobe options:
options dib3000mc buggy_sfn_workaround=1
options dib7000p buggy_sfn_workaround=1
alias net-pf-10 off

Thank you in advance.

Another important info: I'm using a 32 bit system.

This is a regression.  You have to chase links a bit, but it was
bisected down to a particular commit in
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/561b447ade77.
