[pvrusb2] No sysfs interface or working /dev/video devices

Greetings,

It has been a few months---and a different PC / distro-- since I last used
the pvrusb2 utilities succesfully. My current Ubuntu Breezy install is
running a rather generic custom kernel of 2.6.14.3 (although this problem
was apparent in Breezy's default 2.6.13-9) with the  latest (1126) build of
pvrusb2. Even using old builds, I cannot get the device to function and the
following problems occur:

Using the kernel's tveeprom module generates little output and the following
problems:
            Can't cat /dev/video, generates "No such Device"
            Driver generates a /sys/class/pvrusb2 directory that is empty
            Driver generates a /sys/module/pvrusb2 directory that is not
empty
            Very little output in kernel log (included below)
            Currently my kernel log indicates that the module loaded
succesfully, but it doesn't spit out the same information the driver from
early July did (IE that it has a type 58 tuner, etc)

When I use the included ivtv tveeprom module, I receive the following from
my kernel log (and the module fails to load)

[47763.613541] Linux video capture interface: v1.00
[47763.699722] pvrusb2: disagrees about version of symbol
tveeprom_hauppauge_analog
[47763.699742] pvrusb2: Unknown symbol tveeprom_hauppauge_analog

Any ideas?

Thanks
