Yes, for your sight, after fiddling around doing stupid changes in some places 
like changing "Pinnacle" into "Aver" or so.
There are cx24108 tuners / frontends which are supported by cx24110.
But every other card / tuner / frontend containing a cx24106 tuner / frontend 
is a completely different issue: A developer like Manu or Michael has to 
(well, if they are interested tot do so):
a. sign a paper at the conexant company to get some info on the frontend
b. modify cx24110.c to imply some support for your card
c. modify dvb-bt8xx.c to imply some support for the card
d. modify bttv cardlist
.................

Both steps need a whole lot of time, especially the second one.

I know that as I already told you for 2 times now that your card is an 
UNSUPPORTED one.
Moreover I did not find your card in the bttv gallery - the M109 simply does 
not appear there: And this says very clear: It is NOT supported!

You can try with kernel 2.4 if you may wish, but there won't be no success 
either I guess.

I know as I did already the whole testing for cx878 and am aware of all the 
problems to be solved.

Wrong! You start to nerve me now, really!

Two suggestions for now:

1. Return this card to your dealer as soon as possible or sell it or do 
whatever with it (BEST CHOICE!)
2. Try to find some developer to get this card supported doing the necessary 
changes in the relevant places (cx24110, dvb-bt8xx......).
3. Stop bugging me with that issue from now on.

---------> If you do not conform to 3. for whatever reason, I will simply stop 
answering from now on.
