No, didn't try that. Please test the linuxtv.org v4l-dvb master development repository and confirm -- if it is still not recognized, then let me know. >> If that's the case, give me a few days and I'll push in a patch for it. > > Brilliant, thanks, but how is that possible?

It might be no change at all. I'd look it up in the code, but I don't even know what the usb ID's of your device are, offhand -- what are they? (do "lsusb -n | grep 2040" ) You should really try the development repository before you go off telling other people that the card isnt supported. If it turns out, in fact, that your card isn't supported, then we'll be able to take care of that quickly.
