do not top post.

when you run "make && make install", it will create modules and put
them in /lib/modules/your_kernel_version ...

you can see the list of all modules with "modprobe -l" ... you can run
"modprobe cx2388" right after running "make && make install" ... I
think that this module is one of yours.

Ok, I finally got a chance to mess around with the make and make install, but I still can't get the modprobe cx2388 to work.

This is what I am getting for an error

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/v4l-dvb-99c5e68c4cbd/v4l'
ed at ed-desktop:~/v4l-dvb-99c5e68c4cbd$ modprobe cx2388
FATAL: Module cx2388 not found.
ed at ed-desktop:~/v4l-dvb-99c5e68c4cbd$ module
bash: module: command not found
ed at ed-desktop:~/v4l-dvb-99c5e68c4cbd$ 

I tried to set up mythtv backend to see the card, but that did not work either.  I am sure it's something minor that I am doing wrong, but I am still new to the linux thing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
