I had the dec driver working with 2.5.68, so you should be able to build it 
for 2.5.69.  You just need dvb-kernel module from cvs and remove the 'grep -v 
ttusb' bits from the makelinks script and run that.  Then the config options 
should appear in the kernel build system.  It should just work unless there 
have been changes to the usb stuff between 2.5.68 and 2.5.69.

Whether it solves your problem or not is a different matter (I suspect not if 
it's an interrupt issue).  I've managed to reproduce your problem I think, 
although it occurs for me on the first ifconfig.  Thanks for providing the 
exact commands you issue.  I may well take you up on the offer for testing!  
I'll let you know when I've got something ready.

Cheers,
Alex
