There appears to be significant differences between the "tuner" module in linux 2.6.12 and the same module under linux 2.6.11. In particular the "type" paramater is missing from linux 2.6.12.3, as shown by a comparison of the truncated modinfo output appended at the end of this email.
I absolutely *need* the type= paramater, since my tuner card is "misrecognized" as PAL (our broadcast system is NTSC). The "tuner" module of linux 2.6.12 appears to load fine *without* any parameters (using insmod /path/to/tuner.ko). But it fails with "modprobe tuner", which reads the options I set in "/etc/modprobe.d/01_local_directives": options bttv card=34 radio=1 options tuner type=8 debug=1 Have I encountered a bug, or are there newer options to pass to the "tuner" module to force it to recognize my card as NTSC? # "tuner" module information for linux 2.6.12.3 vermagic: 2.6.12.3-k7r1-custom preempt K7 gcc-4.0 depends: i2c-core parm: radio_antenna:int parm: tv_antenna:int parm: optimize_vco:int parm: pal:string parm: radio_range:array of int parm: tv_range:array of int parm: tuner_debug:int parm: addr:int parm: force:List of adapter,address pairs to boldly assume to be present (array of short) parm: ignore_range:List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples not to scan (array of short) parm: ignore:List of adapter,address pairs not to scan (array of short) parm: probe_range:List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples to scan additionally (array of short) parm: probe:List of adapter,address pairs to scan additionally (array of short) # "tuner" module information for linux 2.6.11.12 vermagic: 2.6.11.12-k7r6-custom preempt K7 gcc-3.3 depends: i2c-core parm: pal:string parm: radio_range:array of int parm: tv_range:array of int parm: optimize_vco:int parm: radio_antenna:int parm: tv_antenna:int parm: debug:int parm: addr:int parm: type:int parm: force:List of adapter,address pairs to boldly assume to be present (array of short) parm: ignore_range:List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples not to scan (array of short) parm: ignore:List of adapter,address pairs not to scan (array of short) parm: probe_range:List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples to scan additionally (array of short) parm: probe:List of adapter,address pairs to scan additionally (array of short) # tail of dmesg.
