Only for 150/500 cards.

That's because it doesn't exist.

I've said the same thing on the ivtv-users list, but if it looks like
duck, and quacks like a duck... Some 250MCE cards are actually 150's.
(I have one myself)

It's detecting the card correctly, but the module isn't loading
correctly, have a look at your output:

Grab the firmware file from the driver CD, put it in /lib/modules/
(see the wiki for more info). You have a 150 card, not a 250.
