I've installed a WinTV PVR 150MCE card in my Dell 4550, which has been runni=
ng=20
FreeBSD 5.3 for many months, and would like to try it with fxtv or gnomemeet=
ing.=20
Since I'm using a custom kernel which was built without bktr support, I've a=
dded=20
the following to loader.conf (from a read of the bktr man page)...

=20  bktr_load=3D"YES"
=20  iccbus_load=3D"YES"
=20  iccbb=3D"YES"

I already have smbus support in the kernel.

After I boot, kldstat shows all these modules are indeed loaded.  But dmesg=20
reports that no driver attached the WinTV.

The following is reported by pciconf -lv...

=20    none2@pci2:1:0: class=3D0x040000 card=3D0x88010070 chip=3D0x00164444 =
rev=3D0x01=20
hdr=3D0x00
=20    vendor   =3D 'Conexant Inc (Was: Globespan, ICompression Inc)'
=20    device   =3D 'iTVC16/CX23416 MPEG Codec'
=20    class    =3D multimedia
=20    subclass =3D video

Conexant now owns brooktree technology, right?  What have I got wrong?  Coul=
d it=20
be that this WinTV card really doesn't use a brooktree chip that is one of t=
hose=20
supported by bktr?  If so and therefore this WinTV card isn't supported by b=
ktr,=20
can anyone suggest which WinTV card -would- work?
