I'm running 5-Stable. So, I did:
 # kldload bktr
 # kldload iicbus
 # kldload iicbb
 # kldload smbus

Then in /var/log/messages, I get:

 bktr_mem: memory holder loaded
 bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xf5000000-0xf5000fff
        irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci2
 bktr0: Unable to allocate 1310720 bytes of memory.
 bktr0: Unable to allocate 3555328 bytes of memory.
 bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44354 C221
 bktr0: Detected a MSP3415D-B3 at 0x80
 bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1216 PAL FM
        tuner, msp3400c stereo, remote control.

What are the two 'Unable...' lines about?

However, when I "kldunload bktr", and kldload it
again, I get this in /var/log/messages:

 bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xf5000000-0xf5000fff
        irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci2
 bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44354 C221
 bktr0: Detected a MSP3415D-B3 at 0x80
 bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1216 PAL FM
        tuner, msp3400c stereo, remote control.


Then I run your command above (as a regular user),
and I get:

Any idea what's wrong here?

Thanks,
