One trick I use to find a config switch in xconfig is to locate another 
module that I know is a dependency of what I'm looking for.  Then I check 
that module's reverse dependencies and I can locate the switch I want to 
find.

In the case of pvrusb2, cx2341x is a dependency.  So I found that and 
searched its reverse dependencies, and pvrusb2 is not in the list.  It 
appears to be just simply missing.

I also just noticed something else.  When I ran xconfig, it tried to turn 
on a whole pile of options corresponding to the kernel I'm currently 
running (2.6.17.6).  And I got a long list of warnings about switches that 
are missing...

I think there's been some kind of foul-up.
