I would like to know how in what order the driver loads the multiple FF cards in my system. I have 3 FF cards. And it seems that on the mother board, cards from the top are loading last.

Is there a way I can make SURE the cards will load in the same order ? I'm using playlists for reading on-disk videos, and I have a playlist for each board. But I want to make sure that after a reboot, my playlists will feed the right cards with the right videos to be displayed on the right screen.

The PCI adapter driver (e.g. saa7146) will call the PCI subsystem
to enumerate all devices on the bus. I think there was a change
between 2.4 and 2.6, but there is nothing the DVB drivers can do
about it.

udev in 2.6 might be able to solve this problem because you can configure
that a card in a specific PCI slot will have device nodes in
the /dev/dvb/adapterN you wish.
I'm running 2.4.

Maybe there could be a way I can catch the MAC adress of the card ?

when I dmesg :

DVB: AV7111(0) - firm f0240009, rtsl b0250018, vid 71010068, app 8000261b
DVB: AV7111(0) - firmware supports CI link layer interface
av7110(0): Crystal audio DAC detected
Technotrend/Hauppauge PCI rev2.1 or 2.2 adapter 0 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:2X:XX:XX

DVB: AV7110(1) - firm f0240009, rtsl b0250018, vid 71010068, app 8000261b
DVB: AV7110(1) - firmware supports CI link layer interface
av7110(1): Crystal audio DAC detected
Technotrend/Hauppauge PCI rev2.1 or 2.2 adapter 1 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:2X:XX:XX

DVB: AV7111(2) - firm f0240009, rtsl b0250018, vid 71010068, app 8000261b
DVB: AV7111(2) - firmware supports CI link layer interface
av7110(2): Crystal audio DAC detected
Technotrend/Hauppauge PCI rev2.1 or 2.2 adapter 2 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:2X:XX:XX

the nice thing would be to be able to :

ntuxplayer file.mpg --mac-adaptor 00:d0:5c:2X:XX:XX
