I have this Tv card and didn't even think it would
work in linux but it shows up in HardDrake.  So I went
looking around and saw that it should work with bttv. 
It doesn't work with Kwintv as is.  Before I start
downloading kernel 2.4 and switching around stuff I'd
like to make sure that it's not something trivial I
need to do to get it to work.  Ok HardDrake shows the
following: (twice for some strange reson theres two
entries for the card)
Vendor: Brooktree Corporation
Model: Bt878
Kernel Module: bttv
Bus Type: PCI

and modules.conf has these lines for the card

alias char-major-81 bttv
alias tvcard0 bttv

I just installed Mandrake Freq 3/16/01 on this pc for
the first time but I've used linux for awhile.  I've
never needed to mess with the tv card in it though. 
If a kernel upgrade and configuring everything by hand
will be better than it's no big deal because it's
definately going to be needed soon anyway since the
net card in this box needs the new tulip and I'd
rather use iptables for my network anyway.

Thanks in advance for any help with this card.
