It's definitely not a "woodbury", but if the woodbury configuration is
working for you, then it could be similar.

The really strange thing is that I have a device in my hand with usb
ID 05e1:0400 .  I opened it up, and there is an mt2130 and an au8502.

This is _not_ a tda18271c2 and an au8522.  So, the fact that the
tda18271c2 + au8522 driver combination is working for you tells us
that multiple configurations are out there that all have the same usb
ID.

or, by some strange chance, the my2130 in your stick might be tuned to
some default frequency that just happens to have channels.

I asked you if you were able to receive multiple channels -- are they
all on the same frequency, or are they on different frequencies?

Would it be possible for you to open up the device and take some
hi-res digital photos?

I will have to take a look into this -- I haven't tested 2.6.27
enough, myself.  If there is a problem, then we'll have to fix it for
the 2.6.27.y stable series.

Auvitek is the chip manufacturer.  Lets go with the name "Syntek" for
now.  I've seen this in retail packaging using the name, "Syntek
Teledongle" ...
