Hi all,
Warning: N00b mail...
I am trying to fix the vicam.c code (last updated on sourceforge page 3 years
ago!) to use callback release correctly as reported in syslog when loading
this module for my cam.
After too many hours and too many reboots today, I finally got somewhere with
a one line addition to the device structure. All works well, until I rmmod
vicam. Hotplug then crashes - the oops at end of the mail.
The module unloads though - and I can then reload it and use the cam
everytime. It must be bloody obvious, as the address is alway 0x0b.
Reading up, I think hotplug still has a handle in this somewhere, but I am now
lost on what to look for. Looking at similar code in other cam models
doesn't enlighten me (but, I don't know if these work or not?).
Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
