Hi,

This sounds contrary to the entire concept of hotplugging to me. And I don't think that a typical
desktop user would be happy to be told that s/he needs to become root and unload kernel modules
before s/he can unplug a USB device.
Unfortunately the dvb-core is currently not able to handle hotplugging
while a dvb application is accessing a dvb-dev-node. This applies
for every dvb-device, not only for dvb-usb devices, but no one ever tried
to unplug a DVB PCI card while using it, yet.
Before unplugging a device, you can check if the module is removable to
make sure that really no application is currently using it. (You will get
"module in use" then).
We already thought about that problem and we think that dvbdev.c is the
correct place to start implementing that, but I don't have enough
knowledge (and time) to do that now, sorry.
regards,
Patrick.
