pixelview card problem

the card works fine with 2.4 kernel but not at all with 2.6

the problem with these cards (BT878P) is that the bttv module gets it wrong when trying to autodetect them

It works with the correct module parameters manually added in
/etc/modules/bttv:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=37 tuner=1

but this fails with the 2.6 kernel as it ignores these parameters and tries to autodetect the card - which it fails to do.

Anybody know how to get this working with a 2.6 kernel?
