Those kernels have in-build drivers.
Download and install firmware
wget -c http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz tar xfv tevii_ds3000.tar.gz sudo cp tevii_ds3000/dvb-fe-ds3000.fw /lib/firmware/
Thats it, your card should be working now. If you configure your own kernel, be sure to enable
Device Drivers --->

<M> Conexant cx23885 (2388x successor) support
Remote support in 2.6.36
Kernel 2.6.36 added support for the infrared remote, but was disabled after it caused nasty effects for some people. If you are feeling lucky, you may try to enable it by passing the argument "enable_885_ir=1" to the module, e.g.
modprobe cx23885 enable_885_ir=1
or whatever config file your distribution uses for that. However, you have been warned, it worked instantly and without further configuration, but after pressing like 20 buttons on the remote my system completely froze.
Older kernels
Use the s2-liplianin v4l branch.
You can use this script to download and compile firmware/driver
echo "TeVii S470"

This work for me on Debian Squeeze (2.6.32):
mkdir /usr/local/src/dvb cd /usr/local/src/dvb wget http://tevii.com/100315_Beta_linux_tevii_ds3000.rar unrar x 100315_Beta_linux_tevii_ds3000.rar cp dvb-fe-ds3000.fw /lib/firmware/ tar xjvf linux-tevii-ds3000.tar.bz2 cd linux-tevii-ds3000 make && make install
