Well, bad news and slightly less bad news. The bad news: a cold boot  
had the same result. The dmesg output:

A warm boot from Windows, however, resulted in success:

The problem now is that nothing seems to be able to tune in a channel.  
(If this is off-topic here, please let me know.) The antenna  
connection is fine, since it works in Windows, and I have a correct  
channels.conf file for my area, but something's still not quite right.

I did try Markus's repository just for the sake of completeness, but
