Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7
Version: 2.6.16-18
Severity: normal
When I upgraded from 2.6.15 to the 2.6.16 in testing, I got this error
message about my DVB-T card (some time ago the quasi standard card in
Germany (and for this reason somewhat longer recommended for its linux
support), the Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH Technotrend-Budget /
Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T DVB card with the Philips Semiconductors SAA7146
chip):

and indeed the devices '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and
'/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' were missing --> it did not work.
Further upgrading to 2.6.17 (in unstable) solved this problem,
apparently someone followed the helpful advice. Just the code did not
find its way into 2.6.16, making the card unusable with this linux version.

testing has 2.6.17 since longer and we will not release with 2.6.16,
thus closing that bug.
