My card has PCI ID 1131:7146, subsystem 13C2:1011. If yours matches this
then, wrt the drivers in 2.6.8.1, you should find that budget_ci and tda1004x
work and that you now have an extra file in /dev/input. (BTW, hotplug should
load budget_ci automatically.)

I have the following rules in /etc/modprobe.d/dvb (note that I'm using a
patched budget_ci to allow for 'programmable' RC keys [1]):

install budget_ci modprobe -i budget_ci && modprobe tda1004x && budget_ci_loadkeys /etc/dvb/remote.rc5 >/proc/budget_ci_ir
remove budget_ci modprobe -ri budget_ci && modprobe -r tda1004x


[1] For the patch, either look through the list archive or grab the source
    diffs for the Debian dvb-driver-source package.
