The wiki seems to indicate that this card is supported as of kernel
2.6.33, however it doesn't show up as a dvb-adapter.

After rebooting it however seems I need to manually modprobe mantis
and restart the backend to have mythtv work with this card. Is there a
way to make these modules load automatically after a reboot?

The best way to work around the problem until you upgrade your kernel to
2.6.38 or newer, is probably just adding mantis to /etc/modules.

This work-around solved this little issue for me, thanks :)

Is there a how-to for handing in initial scan-files or complete scans? 
I'm on fiber and afaik this goes for the whole network excluding local 
stations.


Thanks,

This is fixed by the following trivial patch, which was finally included
in kernel 2.6.38:

use the macro to make modules auto-loadable
