Nope. What I sent would only set up the symlink.

In dmesg after a reboot do you see complaints about missing firmware?
The Hauppage cards seem to want some firmware blobs that may not be
available in Debian.

If you know what module is needed you may need to give the kernel
a prod with a file in /etc/modprobe.d
This may help:

It may be possible to tell udev to load the module but I don't
know how at the moment.
