I am trying to make my PCMCIA tunner card, AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM
Cardbus (E506) work on Xubuntu 14.04.
I have followed the Basic approach on this page
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
I have successfully build the binary and installed it.
However, the tuner card is not working on Xubuntu.
I have tested the same tuner card on Windows and it works fine on
Windows with Avermedia's windows driver and application.
This page says this tuner card is supported
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCMCIA_Cards
The model written on my PCMCIA card is E506, NO E506R.
I am not sure if the R wording matters or not. I assume it is the same
hardware.
And I also found this guide for this card but this guide is for older
kernel, so I did not figure out jhow to follow this guide...
http://gentoo-en.vfose.ru/wiki/AverMedia_AverTV_Cardbus_Hybrid_E506R
When card is inserted kernel log reports this

You can see there is an error there..

Using tvheadend, tvheadend appears to be able to use this tuner card to
scan channels but it will not pickup anything at all.
From time to time, I also see this DSP error

Maybe some recent changes in kernel somehow broke support for this tuner
card?
I don't know. Please advice if you know what the problem is or how this
can be solved.
Thanks
