FYI
Just wanted to say that the wintv card got recognized again and works well on
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE which I recently installed on an amd64 box (I did need to
compile bktr module manually it wasnt included in the binary dist).
bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xc5000000-0xc5000fff irq 16 at device 6.0 on pci5
bktr0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44354 A242
bktr0: Detected a MSP3415D-B3 at 0x80
bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1216 PAL FM tuner, msp3400c stereo,
remote control.
I reckon between 6.0 and 6.1 something got fixed. Perhaps it works again for
other folks as well.
Cheers,
Dan

I'd have to install 5-something and incremently test it. What I can say is
that I remember that for a while it worked with simply putting the (wrong)
product/manufactorer ID that was reported in card.c and treating it as
hauppauge, but later the reported ID became 0xffff and that went nowhere. It
could probably have been done better and perhaps work with something
analogous to what Robert Krten wrote.
I also have a miro card and a saa based avermedia one, so I pretty much tossed
the wintv aside.
I have an amd box here that I need to set up for testing, I'll look which
install images I still have a CD for and slap in the hauppauge and see if I
can recreate that situation a little. If I can point to some useful
timeframes where things broke I'll let you know, if not, well I won't :)
IIRC it was between 5.2 -> 5.3 (hack as described above needed)
and 5.3 -> 5.4/6.0 (b0rken since)
