While I was trying to make the card work, I found a peculiar note in the 
NotOnlyTV faq that says that the driver they provide only works on 
Fedora 6.0.

Since Fedora 6.0 is an "old" distro (Fedora is now at the 10th revision) 
and since on ubuntu intrepid, the distro I'm using, the 2.6.19 kernel 
isn't available, I wondered if and how I could manage to apply the 
modifications they did to the main tree to make the driver work on more 
recent kernels and if those modifications could be imported in the main 
tree.

I attach the link to the V4l tree NOT provide is someone more expert 
than me wants have a look.

And this is their faq (not very usefull indeed)

Last thing, how can I know if someone is working on that card or on the 
chipset that card uses?
