[mythtv-users] insmod ivtv.o problem - bus mastering not

[VJ]

Hi Don,
    I had bought this card from amazon.co.uk and they replaced the card
without any fuss (just an exchange of one mail from each side).
    I too tried setpci and any trick related to BIOS, but the only thing
that worked was the replacement. Save your time by doing the same.
Regards from
    VJ
