I agree with Johannes. Regardless of driver, the card isn't recognized correctly. Here's my lspci -v:
05:07.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
Subsystem: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card
Flags: slow devsel, IRQ 233
Memory at d1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at a000 [size=32]
You "rev ff" is a clue that something is messed up on the card. The highest rev is now 02.
