Aha! Another 761 person! I've tried at length to work out how to make this card work (FC3, FC4, Ubuntu) and not succeeded. I couldn't get it to detect a tuner. How did you overcome that problem? Probably it's something simple that I'm missing, not being a kernel/hardware person really. Or perhaps the patch you made for sp887x was what was required? Here is what I managed to get: [4294861.556000] bt878(0): unloading [4294861.556000] bt878_mem: 0xe0a4a000.
