The output of lspci -v maybe helpful to determine what you need. For
example my TV tuner card returns....
05:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video
Capture (rev
11)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 132, IRQ 50
Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2
So I know I need the bttv drivers.
Well, things have improved. lspci used to give me nothing useful, now I
am returned:
]$ lspci -v
01:09.0 Multimedia controller: ATI Technologies Inc Theater 550 PRO PCI

I will search for 'Unknown device a346' tomorrow.
