I posted some stuff 
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-April/001151.html and 
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-April/001450.html which 
shows the modules loaded for the Hauppaugue WinFast 2000 XP Nova-T card.
Since then I have a kernel.org 2.6.12-rc3 + 
dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.12-rc3-1/All-2.6.12-rc3.diff.gz 
(2.6.12-rc3-kraxel1) working fine with kaffeine, xawtv4, tvtime etc. 
don't work, as someone pointed out in the video4linux mailing list, it 
doesn't have a video adapter, hence no /dev/video0, the devices setup by 
udev as follows:-
[root at bumble May05]# l -R /dev/dvb
/dev/dvb:
total 0
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 120 Apr 29 01:27 adapter0/

/dev/dvb/adapter0:
total 0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 212, 4 Apr 29 01:27 demux0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 212, 5 Apr 29 01:27 dvr0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 212, 3 Apr 29 01:27 frontend0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 212, 7 Apr 29 01:27 net0

There seems to be different cards under similar names, mine is reported 
in dmesg as:-

cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.4 loaded
cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T 
[card=18,autodetected]
cx88[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=90002, tuner=76
cx88[0]: registered IR remote control
