Hi,

The board is for sure a Bt848 based one. In order to interface to the
tuner it has to use the I2c and GPI interface for which I have
not written any code for .
Before anyone decides to buy any  of the bt848 based cards -- 
I am not done with my driver yet.

Cause we are a multimedia group here are a couple of snapshots of the
Intel board 8)

	Enjoy,
