This is required if you are using the linuxtv CVS for new and or updated 
drivers.

Yes the new kernels do have the drivers included. You need not patch unless 
you need cutting edge/newer features.

I think the nebula card is supported by the dst driver.
just modprobe the modules one by one, or create a script to load it. With FC3 
i don't know, it has a lot of new features like HAL etc, maybe the drivers 
are loaded itself ?

you can check whether the modules are loaded by doing a lsmod.
