Comment 22 for bug 459523

Tried the module option workaround, and it does indeed work:
 * 2.6.31-14-generic (karmic), cold boot
 * 2.6.24-23-rt (hardy), cold boot

I tried tuning on karmic
 * dvbscan failed as shown above, with the stock karmic modules or V4L as of a few days ago.
   However there were no dvb-usb messages when/after the firmware was loaded.
 * w_scan worked fine with the stock karmic modules, but not recent V4L - it complained of API incompatibiltiy.
 * vlc with stock karmic modules was able to tune both my cards to all the transports detected by w_scan.
   On one card I had problems with one channel - lots of frame breakup. Not sure what the issue is here.

Many thanks for your help Rob, happy to help test changes.
