The driver was a commercial project and when the customer never got
around to paying it we shelved it. There was no card on the market yet 
using it anyway. 

Since the code is out now not much can be done to undo it.
I agree with releasing it with proper copyright attribution (mine and
yours for the adaptation to the Convergence tree).
But we put effort in it not containing Convergence code and I would
like to keep it that way.
We should not copy their strange frontend registration code anyway. 
De/Registration belongs into the callbacks if you do not want
the oopses you noticed.

The card also belongs in the knc driver (or budget_av as Convergence
calls it). They just messed up the GPIO 0 settings.
Newer KNC cards (developed after beginning of 2003 or so) put the
tuner and CI into reset if GPIO 0 is high. At the same time it 
activates the analog input (SAA7113, not present on all cards).
