Problems configuring a Kworld card

[Brendan Shanks <pip (at) opus.homelinux.com>]

While configuring my SAA7134-based Kworld ATSC card, I found that the  
'tuner' module didn't load automatically, so changing channels in an  
app like tvtime would just fail silently, and I'd be seeing static.  
Not sure if this will be true for you or not, but 'tuner' usually  
prints out some of its own kernel messages.
