Bug#334572: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k6: Module "tuner" prohibits additional options (i.e. "-type=5") , bug ???

Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k6
Version: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7
Severity: normal



-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7
Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15)

Descriptin: 

The kernel module "tuner.o" will not accept additional options,
just like -type=xx or pll=x. This was in earlier kernel-versions o.k.

As I have to set a tunertype to use th emodule for my tv-card,
th emodule must be loaded with parameters. The module willload without
any additional parameters, but then is unusuable. 

In documentation and changelog I found nothing about an improvement or 
change, that the tuner module will detect the tuner type automatically.

I use a debian-build kernel with udev, my tv card is older, the tuner is 
a pal tuner (must be type=5 , pll=2).

I suppose, it is a bug in tuner.o. If it is not, please drop me a line,
so I will look for the mistake here.

Best regards and thanks

Hans
