I'm trying to get my TV card working in kernel-2.6.38 but the kernel doesn't seem to want to talk to it.
Here's the errors I'm getting

[ 124.815309] cx88/2: cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.8 loaded
[ 124.815318] cx88/2: registering cx8802 driver, type: dvb access: shared

[ 124.819829] cx88[0]/2: cx8802 probe failed, err = -22

the card model is as follows

[ 14.530078] cx88[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=90003

and loaded modules are

Any ideas anyone?

Sorry, should have mentioned that it was a PCI card, not a USB stick!
When I try modprobe cx88_dvb I get the following

FATAL: Error inserting cx88_dvb (/lib/modules/2.6.38-gentoo/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko): No such device

The file cx88-dvb.ko exists there so what's the problem? When I do lspci it shows up as this

02:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
02:07.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)
02:07.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [IR Port] (rev 05)

The dmesg errors I get are

[15285.915320] cx8802_alloc_frontends() allocating 1 frontend(s)
[15285.919061] DVB: Unable to find symbol dvb_pll_attach()
[15285.919065] cx88[0]/2: dvb_register failed (err = -22)
[15285.919067] cx88[0]/2: cx8802 probe failed, err = -22

Seems to be a kernel bug. You need the following kernel option to work around it.

Kernel Configuration:
Device Drivers -->
Multimedia devices -->
DVB/ATSC adapters -->
Customize DVB frontends -->
<*> Generic I2C PLL based tuners

May affect a lot more cards other than mine.
