I have two pieces of those cards with Conexant chipset,
working quite well with vdr 1.3.20. OK, I am having a
hard time with my antenna signal here, and the PCI tuner
cards seem to have a relatively lousy tuners in general,
but the drivers are working anyway.

I am using a 2.6.10 kernel with the "All-2.6.10.diff.gz"
patch to DVB drivers from bytesex.org.

http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.10-3/

My .config for kernel 2.6.10 and the shellscripts runvdr,
load-dvb.sh, unload-dvb.sh etc. can be found here:

http://almamedia.fi:8000/~sjm/vdr/

I bet I am loading lots of unnecessary drivers in my load-dvb.sh,
but who cares. I have a gigabyte of memory and I am a lazy bastard. :)

You can find my set of modules and patches to VDR 1.3.20
in a subdirectory, if interested. I wrote a quick shellscript
called "build.sh" for building vdr with all the bells & whistles.

Usage: ./build.sh 1.3.20

The script expects to find vdr source, patches to vdr,
modules and patches to modules named in a certain scheme,
that you can observe in the filenames of the subdirectory 1.3.20.

Have a nice day,
