I had no luck at all with using Yast2 to set that card or my PVR-350 up 
in Suze 10.0 but it turned out that Yast2 wasn't needed.  My HD3000 
works fine with the following added to  /etc/modprobe.conf.local

install char-major-212-3  /sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb

10.0 also needed IVTV updated to get the audio working correctly.  (I've 
got the 10.1 iso sitting on my hd but need to stock up on aspirin before 
commiting to the pain of an upgrade) ;)
