Opps ... http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/mantis.tgz there you go.

If this is the one with PCI ID 0x1178, you should be in luck.  Simply put the 
right vendor and card id in the probe routine and you should be golden.  As 
far as I can tell, this card even uses the same tuner/demod combination.  
Might be a tda10021 demod, however.  In which case you might need some slight 
changes to the userland part.  It should start, though.

./vp2040
MAC [XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX]
pwm = 0xe4
id = 0x7d
...

If it gives 0x7d as id, it is the tda10023 (the one I have).  For other 
tuner/demod combis refer to the v4l mecurial repo referenced in the README.  
Porting is a matter of copy&paste and some replacements.

Let me know how it goes.
