Rite, a modprobe of saa7146 gives
saa7146: register extension 'dpc7146 demonstration board'.
saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f8cf0000 (revision 1, irq 201) (0x0000,0x0000).

A modprobe of mbx gives
saa7146: register extension 'Multimedia eXtension Board'.
saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f8cfe000 (revision 1, irq 201) (0x0000,0x0000).
mxb: did not find all i2c devices. aborting

And a modprobe of hexium_orion gives
FATAL: Error inserting hexium_orion
(/lib/modules/2.6.14/kernel/drivers/media/video/hexium_orion.ko): No such
device
saa7146: register extension 'hexium HV-PCI6/Orion'.

I did some more digging lastnight and i seems that the card doesnt have an
eeprom hence to subsystem id.

I dont think its "broken" as in faulty but maybe broken from a linux point
of view. Looks like its back to ebay :)
