Heh, I got one from that same eBay seller :)

After much hair-pulling, I grabbed the latest 2.6.10 vanilla kernel (rc1) at 
the time, unpacked and then applied

http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.10-rc1-1/All-2.6.10-rc1.diff.gz

Then enabled the various options in make menuconfig - don't forget you need to 
enable the Conexant support in 'Video for Linux' as well as the more obvious 
'DVB' modules

The magic module to modprobe after reboot is cx88-dvb :)

I may have left something out since I haven't used DVB-T or the card for a 
month now...

Good luck!
Gavin.
