I've just done something similar.

I installed the source code for my Ubuntu 10.10 x86 32bit kernel:
    apt-get source linux-image-2.6.35-30-generic-pae

I got the source code of the version of the saa7164 driver that supports 
the "0700:8940" revision of the 2200 card from Kernel Labs by:
   git clone git://kernellabs.com/stoth/saa7164-stable.git
   cd saa7164-stable
   git checkout 87e0c0378bf2068df5d0c43acd66aea9ba71bd89
   make clean

Many thanks to Steven Toth (driver author) for telling me about the 
"87e0c0378bf2068df5d0c43acd66aea9ba71bd89" commit.

I then replaced the Ubuntu kernal source's 
"linux-2.6.35/drivers/media/video/saa7164/" directory with that from the 
above "87e0c0378bf2068df5d0c43acd66aea9ba71bd89" commit and then 
recompiled the ubuntu kernel source.

I found the instructions at 
"http://linuxtweaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-compile-kernel-on-ubuntu-1004.html<http://linuxtweaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-compile-kernel-on-ubuntu-1004.html>" 
for getting the ubuntu kernel source code and recompiling it most helpfull.

I got the following firmware from http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx :
   dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw
   NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw

After putting the firmware files into place and doing a cold reboot, the 
card seems to be working fine.
