[mythtv-users] mythtvsetup can't see dvb cards after kernel update

Hi:  I'm running 0.24.3 from ATrpms with kernel 3.3.3-1,fc16.x86_64. 
During a brief upgrade to kernel 3.4.2-1 I had a failure in simultaneous 
recordings and various frontend hangups.  I wondered if my dvb cards had 
become out of order and ran mythtvsetup.  It 'could not get card info', 
reporting FE_GET_INFO ioctl failed, /dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0, eno no 
such device.  dmesg | grep adapter showed all the cards had been 
registered, and in the expected order.

I have reverted to kernel 3.3.3-1 and all seems ok again.

I suppose the mythtvsetup failure looks as if could be a permissions 
problem.  Suggestions?  I'd like to try a later build of 0.25-fixes than 
the one I now have on the laptop before updating this box.
