DVB-C card.
I'm also using Gentoo and had some strange problems with the
gentoo-sources (as you know, they're heavily patched). I don't know if

Must have been a really time-expensive installation with a P133 ;)

I think this is already known...I can remember such posts a few days ago.

Maybe the sources, who knows...
