[linux-dvb] nexus-s+debian unstable+kernel 2.6.6

[Barry Smoke <barry@arhosting.com>]

I have a nexus-s(hauppauge wintv nexus-s) SAA7146 rev1 board(so the 
dvb-core module states.
I see that the 2.6.6 kernel has dvb drivers in it,
however I am unable to get them loaded, and working.

I do a modprobe dvb-core, and it finds the card, and gives an error on 
loading firmware(is this really needed?)
so, I downloaded the dvb-drivers package, and the dvb-apps package from 
the linuxtv.org site, and extracted it,
I tried to use the insmod.sh script provided for the 2.6 kernel tree, 
even though I didn't actually try to patch the kernel with it,
since dirvers are already there....

I get a bunch of errors on the script,
and nothing loads...

so my first question, is there a insmod script that goes specifically 
for current 2.6.6 kernel?

second, after modprobe dvb-core, I get the card recognized, yet I am 
unable to talk to it via the apps package,
I am trying scan, with a -c, to simply scan the current freq/lnb,
and I get no frontend0 found error.

I can find no docs on getting the modules loaded in the right order with 
the right aliases,

the closest I think I came, was by looking at the metzler brother driver,
and the modules.conf  additions they had in wiht the package,
(it seemed to do more),

but, does 2.6.6 even use modules.conf...?

what is the correct way to get this card working, and what is the best 
utility(downloaded from where) to do a quick check of the card.

I have the card connected to echostar7(119), which has NASA Free To Air,
I get that to show, and I'll be happy!
