The red card is supported by drivers in Linux 2.6, except the
conditional access module.  Twinhan have binary drivers for Linux 2.4,
but they don't implement the standard API, so few programs are likely
to work well.  Many programs might work in a limited way if you first
tune the card using their example programs.
