The cx88_dvb module should work straight out of the box with a FC4
install (I installed a new box a few weeks back with 2 cx88_dvb cards
and they worked immediately. Just try 'modprobe cx88_dvb' and check
the /var/log/messages ouput to see if it's recognised and installed
the card.
I'm pretty sure the cx88_dvb driver that the 90002 model of the Nova-T
uses has been in the kernel since 2.6.10 (I know I had to recompile a
-rc version of 2.6.10 to get my Nova-T working (still haven't upgraded
that machine yet!)
Good luck,
Nick

Same, ive got 2 x 90002 Hauppauge Nova-T DVB cards running on a FC4 box and it worked without any problems, you can check to see if its loaded at startup by using
dmesg | grep cx88
or by using
lsmod | grep cx88
to see if the modules are loaded. The only difficult but that I havent bothered doing because it seems like too much hassle is to get the IR working on the 90002 cards.. not all the buttons work etc.
Luckily I also have a PVR 250 which does the job nicely although I would like to retire this card at somepoint.. anyone have a good 90002 IR guide ?
