Norwood PCI TV Tuner (non-pro) support

[Steve <scobb (at) that80sclub.com>]

I just wanted to mention that I have the patch that was posted in Apr 
applied to the 2.6.17-rc3 kernel for gentoo vanilla-sources. Once I got 
my system updated, and passed the proper settings in the proper way, 
this card is working perfectly.

The only issue I am having is with the remote, but that is due to my 
lack of experience with lircd and not the driver. I have run lircd with 
--nodaemon and actually saw it report the numbers and channel up (+) and 
down (-), so I am positive that it is working.. At the moment, I am more 
concerned with recording video from the SVideo input, so I haven't 
devoted much time to the remote.
