Hi, on read/send failure the msp3400 driver is trying three times to recover and is printing a message each time. On a unloaded system this happens at a rate of about 1/min while watching tv and is quite annoying, while non critical. This patchs gets rid of it and instead raises the final error message to KERN_ERR if indeed the communication failed three times in a row. Thanks, Jan -- Linux rubicon 2.5.75-mm1-jd10 #1 SMP Sat Jul 12 19:40:28 CEST 2003 i686
