What should happen is that there aren't any errors, even when loading the
driver or when tuner.  But the frequency won't change.  If the frequency
was set using older drivers, there is probably nothing to reset it when
changing drivers or rebooting.  So if you tune to a channel before testing
after the change, and then try the same channels, it will appear to be
working fine.  If you try to tune to a new channel, it will _appear_ to
work, except you'll keep getting the old channel.
