Please be aware that the GPIO fix, above, is already queued for 2.6.24.6-stable, and the review period ends today -- this fix will be merged into the vanilla 2.6.24.6-stable kernel today or tomorrow, the latest.

"v4l-cx88-enable-radio-gpio-correctly.patch"

Please also be advised that the "fix" is merely a workaround -- the actual bug is in Ubuntu's hald, which is writing GPIOs to this PCI card.

How is hald doing this? WHY is hald doing this? We only see this issue in Ubuntu -- nobody else has reported this issue using other distros.
