Much PC-TV Cardbus SAA7134 TV/FM Radio Card

Hi,

Hello to All:
   I am a Linux newbie who purchased a CardBus TV Tuner card which works fine in Windows 2000 on my laptop. But I have not been able to get it to work in Fedora Core 4 Linux. The OS recognizes the chip as an SAA7134 but I cannot get it to work. When loading the driver without options, dmesg tells me that my card does not contain an eeprom which can identify it, and that I have to specify what card and tuner type it is as options. From reading your web sites I have come to the conclusion that the stock driver that comes with Fedora Core 4 does not support my card. I believe it is a Sedna/MuchTV PC TV Cardbus TV/Radio (this is listed as card #79 on your list). However, my current driver only lists 51 card types. Can I simply upgrade the saa7134 driver, or do I have to upgrade the kernel as well? I have never upgraded a Linux kernel before, and am a bit apprehensive about doing it. Is there a substitute card type supported by my driver which will work, or must I upgrade the dr
iver and possibly the kernel? Let me know what has to be done. 
   Thanks in advance.

Without knowing Fedora:
Plaes ensure that you have the kernel souces installed.
Grab a recent snapshot from linuxtv.org, unpack it, enter v4l-dvb and do "make".
This should pass without any error or warning message. then (as root) do
"make install". Afterwards you need to ensure that no video related modules are
loaded - or just reboot the machine. Otherwise you will get version mismatches.
This should do it.
