If that module >does something to the card as it inits, how can I undo that? See above, a powerdown for 20 seconds, followed by a reboot to 2.6.14.2, and tvtime works just fine.

Now, the difference that I can see is that I cannot build a 2.6.15-rc2 without the nxt200x stuffs without depmod spitting out a whole menu of squawks about dvb_stuffs. This card apparently doesn't need the nxt2000x stuffs, so how do I go about building a working 2.6.15-rc2 kernel without it? .configs available on request. >Comments anyone? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
