Pretty much.

What it tries to load is 'symbol:mt352_attach', and from modules.symbols:
alias symbol:mt352_attach mt352

You can use the command 'modprobe symbol:mt352_attach', and it should load
mt352.  It doesn't work on v3.1 because of the bug Andrew has already
pointed out.

Mandriva 2006 comes with 3.2, and so does FC5 and Suse 10.  FC4 has an
update package with 3.2.

We could have a hack to check the version of module-init-toools and turn
dvb_attach off by default if it's less than 3.2.
