Thanks for your reply.

I think I'll use the old kernel.

Title:
  ioctl FE_GET_INFO hangs with DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4
  card

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Top level symptom:
  mythtv-backend fails to listen for client connections.
  It stops at: (strace mythbackend)
  open("/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 16
  ioctl(16, FE_GET_INFO

  me-tv also hangs in a similar manner.

  I expected the ioctl call to succeed, and for the top level
  applications to function properly. Instead, they hang.

  The machine has 3 dvb tuners as follows:

  There appears to be a problem loading the firmware for the xc2028 in
  the DViCO FusionHDTV card:

  The firmware is loaded from the file xc3028-v27.fw:
  Mar 13 02:07:42 mythtv kernel: [   18.108746] xc2028 11-0061: creating new instance

  Mar 13 02:07:42 mythtv kernel: [   18.109670] dvb-usb: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 successfully initialized and connected.

  The firmware file /lib/firmware/xc3028-v27.fw belongs to the linux-firmware-nonfree 1.14.ubuntu1 package. I have located instructions on the origin of this file (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC3028/XC2028#How_to_Obtain_the_Firmware)
  and I have verified that the firmware file is identical to the one obtained by that method.

  The DViCO FusionHDTV card has been used for several years in this
  machine. This problem only occurred after upgrading to saucy
  salamander.
