I don't know, I have an usb adapter on hand, not pci one.

tried mdev, didn't worked.

without that feature, I'm unable to use tvheadend, maybe it is needed only for usb adapters.
maybe it is a new feature, also, I won't be surprised if it is needed but not checked if the devs take into account that all distros use some from of udev.
I've asked at the tvheadend irc channel but no answer yet.
