thats interesting. i noticed that my 6981 was detected in dmesg but had the wrong name against the card (i think one of the TeVii tuners). Figuring this wasnt correct, i didn't pay any attention to if it had an adapter assigned to it. maybe i need to remove TBS closed drivers, reinstall/repair the linux-media/v4l package (which ever provides the firmware that TBS fondled with) and see where that leaves me on functioning hardware.
