Yes, I have read that in your previous mail, but if Mikes card doesn't 
work, it may be a different hardware. Some manufacturers change the 
harware without changing the product name. Maybe his card is such a 
device.

And if some hardware was working with 10.04 it doesn't always mean it 
would also work with 12.04. My FM/TV card was working with 10.04 
(actually it was working for about 10 years) but the standard 12.04 
kernel had a bug which prevented the FM part to work. However the raring 
backports kernel has this bug fixed and the card is working again. 
That's why I suggested the newer kernel even though the hardware was 
working before.
