[Kwintv] Avertv card pcmcia

Hello List,

I have the following problem with the "Avertv cardbus pcmcia".
The Avertv card is recognized by the OS (SuSE 9.2), but kwintv cannot 
initialize the tuner (channels).

The card use the saa7134 chipset

When i read the file :/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.5/
Documentation/video4linux/README.saa7134 and checked
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.5/drivers/media/video/saa7134

And also the two followed url's:
http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/saa7134.html
http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/

I can't find the solution to let kwintv find the tv stations.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

System:
SuSE 9.2 Professional
kde 3.3.0
kdetv-0.8.2-4

Thx,
Johan
(Sorry, for the long e-mail!)
