Thanks for helping - but I don't believe that these drivers will work for my version of the Nova-T with the 2.6.8 kernel because of some silly bug that was introduced in this kernel version.

Apparently I can patch the 2.6.8 kernel like this:

... but I can't get this working yet. :-( I could use FC3 with 2.6.9  but MythTV isn't available as an ATRPM yet for it - I guess there's no timescale for this yet is there?

Thanks,

Dave
