In addition to CI support and remote controller there was also .read_mac_address() callback implemented for TechnoTrend. But as .read_mac_address() is heavily optional and useless it could be possible driver author just left it unimplemented for PCTV - or PCTV does not has MAC address. You seems to be marked as a one module author, I can guess you know reason? Also if you has hardware, could you make some tests in order to get that driver fixed :] regards Antti -- http://palosaari.fi/
