If I remember correctly ( I once had a similar card) there is a Linux 
driver you can download from the manufacturer's site. They don't offer 
any guarantee it will work.

I have a WIN FAST 2000XP in my current box and have never managed to get 
it to work with any variety of Linux. TV cards are one of the black 
holes of Linux into which a lot of efforts goes and little comes out. I 
suggest you do what I do, dual boot with Windows and safe yourself the 
hassle.
