I asked on the dvb list, but no one responded...
Anyway, when I upgraded to 1.3.X I built a new machine and used the 2.6 kernel. After quite a few problems with the kernel drivers (like none of the DVB-t drivers being there) I settled on using the CVS driver and used the build-2.6/makefile.
I'm having problems with software RAID and am trying to move to a newer 2.6, so I went and got the current (obviously) CVS driver and did the make, but there are no alps_tdlb7 or grundig_401 drivers there, no .o, no sources, nothing.
What am I missing, obviously I'm not the only alps_tdlb7 user out there!

Patience is the key :)

Try to use sp8870 or the l64781 frontend. I think they have been renamed during the FE_REFACTORING in last november.
Additionally you have to load all frontends which can be on your card (budget ttpci has a number). This is done automatically when using the kernel module auto loader, but not, if you compile and load the driver within build-2.6

Had the same problem myself yesterday, moving from 2.6.8.1 to 2.6.10 only to find out that alps_tdlb7 had been removed. After digging into the source code I found out that it's been renamed/merged to the sp8870 module.
I'm still unsure how the hotplug firmware loading works in 2.6.10, but it seems to work... (in 2.6.8.1 you had to explicit configure the module to hotplug load the firmware along with the path to the firmware)
