[linux-dvb] Birth-pangs with Winfast 2000XP Expert card

[Roger]

Hi,
  My son has the above card, sporting a Conexant CX23881 chip and a 
tuner marked FM1216ME/I H-3 with eeprom = 107d:6611

When we run xawtv we get a splatter of messages out on the console - all 
complaining about "Invalid argument" for ioctl. I fiddled with an 
ioctl-test routine, and it looks like a number of the ioctl calls return 
   0x16 (which I make to be EINVAL).

Have we got something wrong in our setup - or is there an inherent 
problem with these ioctl calls with the drivers in use - or some other 
explanation?

The modules in use are built straight from the cvs tree - yesterday. 
(Jan 24, 2006)

scantv finds the appropriate local channels - so my feeling is that the 
card/tuner combination is correct. (Location is Australia and the norm 
is PAL-BG.)

Thanks for any advice/help that can be offered.
