 we could. but i am not as far in autodetecting the cardtypes that this
 would work. furthermore, i have contacted the author of the original
 port and he is not very forthcoming. furthermore the pvr250-port is
 maintained by Edwin Groothuis, who has no inside knowledge of the
 code.
 
 it is my intention to make this port work for all hauppauge pvr-style
 cards ( alla ivtv ). that's why i want it committed to the ports tree,
 and announce it on multimedia. at this moment, the driver works for 3
 people ( including me ).

 no, me neither. first time i used pr-send. i assumed they would take
 sensible default values, sorry.
