Hi Hartmut!

This is a Cardbus adapter, so maybe I need to break in to have a
look :-)
If this is possible without a possible physical damage, I can try!


You need to be careful but you can bend most modules open with a
not too sharp knife. You need to start this from the far side of the
cardbus connector.
I did this several times.


What you say is that "no eeprom present" is not an error and can be
ignored if the correct configuration is found the hard way?


yes.


In the case of a PCI adapter, what can be deduced about the presence of
these metal box? I saw some board with and without it.


This box is the so-called tuner. It is important to know its type.

But before you open the module, you might try a "modprobe saa7134 card=55"
and watch the kernel log. If the driver tells you it found a tda8175(a),
we already learned a lot.



Thanks,
Regards!

There are many saa713x based cards without eeprom. It stores the vendor ID and
- in many cases - the board configuration. For you this means
- you need to find out the configuration the hard way
   * identify the chips on the card
   * find the input configuration by try and error
- You will always need to force the card type with a card=xxx option, there is
   no way to automatically identify the card.

So please have a close look at the card and write down all chip types. Is there
a metal box with the antenna connector on the card? What is its type?

Good luck
