OK, have a weird issue I know how to resolve, but don't know where to put it...

have a tv tuner card Lifeview 2000, or prime34 with a saa7134 chipset.

Initially I could not get it to work as knoppmyth was loading saa7134 with no driver, so I would have to run:
rmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134
rmmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=3 tuner=23

now I if only do rmmod/modprobe once, the radio tuner doesn't work, but if I do it twice as in the above example, it works perfectly ( no errors on both modprobs)

now I have managed to get it working by modifying the following:

/etc/modules
# commented out all bttv and saa7134 modules

/etc/modutils/actions
#commented out the bttv stuff
added the following:
options saa7134 card=3 tuner=23

and when booted enter:
rmmod & modprobe once as the above example.

now my question is, the driver loads once, can I make it load & uload and load again with /etc/modutils/actions?

ie with that post-install/post-remove options?
cause I tried that, but it still only loads once.

Kind regards, stevoC.
