Hi,

sorry, but I cannot make much sense from your descriptions:

That's a neat trick considering the card has no (uncompressed)
capturing abilities.

Which is correct. There is no such parameter.

The kfir.o module controls the PLX 9054 PCI bridge. 
So, did it work or didn't it????
If kfir.o says "no such device" then it did not find a PLX 9054.

MPEG1_6.HLD should only have 59872 bytes.

They are now both part of Kfir.h

Are you sure you have the BMK card?
What kind of "PCI bridge module" which you say loaded fine do you mean?
