Hi Phil, I got a winfast dtv dongle a week ago and got it working with 2.6.23. I first checked which version I had (6f00 or 6f01) using lsusb. Turns out I had the 6f01 which my kernel didn't support. So as a quick fix I recompiled the kernel changing the all occurrences of 6f00 in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h to 6f01. Then I just copied the firmware to /lib/firmware and it worked. (At least, I think that's all I did).
