It seems to work now, but weird weird weird ...!
At first, the dump in dmesg (that I have posted before) suddenly changed
the following line:
=> bt878_probe: card id=[0], [ NULL ] has DVB functions
At this point I am not sure about the exact message, but it looked more
or less like that. "My card has died on me" I thought. Several reboots,
with or without power on/off made no difference.
Then, in despair, I decided to install it in a Windows XP machine, only
to see if it would work, with the supplied driver CD. Driver
installation seemed to start well, but then install rebooted the
machine, and after that it complained that there was no card in the PC
! Dead like a doornail, I thought.
Just for the sake of it I put it back in my Linux machine, started the
drivers and ... lo and behold !! It works ! dmesg now suddenly lists a
lot more info than ever before, and /dev/dvb/* files are being created
by udev.
Probably modules didn't get unloaded properly and hence didn't get
loaded properly, but that's when your reboot helped.
Could it be that the Windows install program has written something into
the card eeprom that was necessary to make it work ?!
No, nothing of that sort is possible.
