I've been running everything as root so far, just to make sure nothing
fails because of permissions.

Here's the output of "dmesg":

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:06.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, high) -> IRQ 201

And this is the output of "ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0":

ul16s002 adapter0 # ls -la

So, I suspect there are no permission problems when running as root,
what else can I try to narrow down the problem? I managed to get the
firmware loaded, which removed the "no such file or directory" and
replaced it with "could not open card #0".

I'm sure I'm missing something really stupid, so I'd be grateful for any advice.

Best regards,
Albert.
