I don't necessary believe any of the excuses posted by Haupig or that
any cards where recalled except for some manufacturing defect.
The incompatible card is mentioned on LinuxTV.org.

I know the original T500 works okay , I have used one for about 4 yrs.
The problem with TD500 is not linux incompatibility but intermittent
bursts of high BER.

The card has been removed from the PC but sure the id is 2040:84xx.
