I may be mistaken on this, but thought I should mention it.
Are you using the TBS 'closed-source' drivers or the open source driver
for the 6981?
The TBS driver compile and install as I see it replaces most (maybe all)
of the modules under /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/media/
with copies from its own build tree. If the 292e relies on support in
recent kernels, the TBS replacement of the original modules may be
effectively removing support again.
I just experienced this myself while preparing to add a TBS card to my
backend system. I installed the TBS drivers, only to find that it broke
support for an existing Hauppauge card. So I have rolled back until I
can untangle what is needed to get both working.
