Hey Linux-DVB people

I'm trying to make an as-of-yet unsupported CX23885 device work in Linux.

I've tested that the device is not supported using the newest snapshot
of the DVB drivers. They did support a bunch of extra devices compared
to the standard ubuntu driver, but to no avail.

This is what I know about the device:

### physical description ###

The device is a small mini-PCIe device currently installed in my
Thinkpad T61p notebook. It did not originate there, but I managed to fit it
in.

How are you attaching the video/audio/antenna/etc. input to the pcie
card?  I don't imagine the card is much use without external
connectors.

For now, I'm using a wifi-antenna lead to connect it. I think that should at least work as a proof-of-concept. Even if I can't tune in any channels, I should still be able to control the card, which I can't right now.

When/if it has a chance of working, I'm planning to mod my laptop to fit an antenna lead, properly mounted.

Any suggestions for proceeding?
