You're right, it doesn't look like a 90002. I asked because I seem to remember 
the older modules loaded without question on my board and I spent a while 
working out why the damn thing didn't work.

The easiest way is to look at the card and read the chip manufacturer and 
numbers off the chips and also get the Hauppauge model off the sticker on 
tuner shielding. Having said that it looks like you have an earlier card. You 
also check the pictures here:

Also you might get some pointers here: http://cuboidal.org/divo/dvb/

Sorry, I missed the start of this thread but you look like you have the right 
device nodes from the drivers you have - what problem are you having?
