 Below is the output of 'lspci -v':

01:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8800 (rev 05)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 2801
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

01:08.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8801 (rev 05)

        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        Memory at e3000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]

01:08.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8802 (rev 05)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 2801
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

If I do a '/bin/dmesg |grep ivtv', I get the following information:

ivtv: version 0.1.9 (release) loading
ivtv: SGarray_size = 320, DSGarray_size = 16
ivtv: Error detecting PCI card

Any thoughts? This is rather frustrating. I should note that I tried to
install the card in my Windows box, and it would not install completely
either. Whenever I would try to install the Hauppague MPEG Encoder drivers,
it would give me a 'IVAC not found' error. I'm beginning to think my card is
defective.

Did you follow the instructions about doing "lspci" and making sure the card
showed up on the bus?  What's the output of dmesg just after you try your
modprobe?
