is an option in the kernel to prevent you from mixing an matching kernel modules from one kernel to another. As I stated its usually considered a really bad idea, hence why Linux doesnt want you todo it.

If you want it supported your going to have to add the support yourself. Or write an open source driver for the 6280. I dont own a 6280 but all the demods/tuners are already supported, I doubt the proprietary blob controls much.


I don't see where the blob comes in. my AverMedia drivers are part of the kernel and I downloaded driver source from tbsdtv.com for my TBS6280. Shouldn't I be able to compile the TBS modules against the kernel and make them work with the existing AverMedia drivers??? I don't understand where the dependency is and why it fails. You have to forgive my ignorance but the last time I did anything with the kernel was when it was still monolithic and Slackware installed from floppies.
