Well its 1:30am and I'm still fighting this problem..
Using Mandrake 10.0, 2.6.10 kernel with dvb-kernel patch.  I've followed 
http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/personal/angel/mythtv/air2pc-howto.html
except Mandrake 10.0 still uses devfs instead of udev.  
I modprobe skystar2 and get:

ll /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw-------  1 root root 212, 4 Dec 31  1969 demux0
crw-------  1 root root 212, 5 Dec 31  1969 dvr0
crw-------  1 root root 212, 3 Dec 31  1969 frontend0
crw-------  1 root root 212, 7 Dec 31  1969 net0

/var/log/syslog:

I don't have the saa7115 line, maybe significant.  I don't have any saa7115 
module to load, the closest is saa7114 which doesn't seem to help.
If I go on...
/usr/local/bin/azap KARE 
yields:

I've double checked /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent and
FIRMWARE_DIR=/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
and ll /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 5908 Feb  5 23:03 dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw


I'm stumped.  Any ideas?
