Good day everyone. Couple of days ago i got an AverTV hybrid+FM PCMCIA card from friend but still can't get it to work.

I've tried to set it up by this wiki's: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134 , http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/AVerMedia_Cardbus_E500


module saa7134 could not detect my card automatically:

Code:
 Apr 15 18:02:16 Barrell ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 169

so i've tried to add some module parameters "card=46" (46 - AverTV cardbus plus, i guess it's the most similar card to mine. After adding this parameter the light on card switches on) and "tuner=""" (tried almost all available values but still my tuner was unrecognizable)

Code:
 Apr 15 18:00:04 Barrell ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 169

My last hope to get this card working was the most recent V4L CVS drivers...
After loading renewed modules with the same parameters i got this output:

As far as i understand tuner seems to be initialized but the card remains to be unusable (tvtime-scanner can't find any channels, fm radio application (gqradio) shows error "Failed to initialize radio device")

I hope someone has this device (or at least something similar). I just don't have anymore ideas how to get it working so all your ideas or thoughts are welcome.

I'm using Acer Aspire 1522LM with amd64. Gentoo 2005.1 kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r2 (~amd64)

Thanks for your help
