Hello, All

Start from kernel 2.6.39 my TV card's PV951 radio is not work. On 2.6.38 it still fine work and form 2.6.39 to present it is not. I have seen to source's different for BTTV code from 2.6.38 to 2.6.39 and have not seen any functional changes then the problem is generic for radio API.

For test I call command "v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio --all -L" on 2.6.32 and 3.1.4 kernel's versions:

***************** 2.6.32 (OK) ************************* [root@roman ~]# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio --all -L Driver Info (not using libv4l2):

The problem appear by partial check for option "bttv radio=1". For that option /dev/radio0 is created but checking for radio into function check_mode() see only to device's flag ".has_radio", which clear for "ProVideo PV951 (42)" card.

Replacing card to "Pace TV & Radio Card (101)" resolve the problem for me.

I think for fix that behavior need set flag ".has_radio" or RADIO mask for flag "bttv radio=1".
