ATI HDTV Wonder - unknown device ac00

I hope this the right place to ask this question.
I bought an ATI HDTV Wonder because I thought I read that it worked in Linux. But when I followed the instructions to load the firmware and get it working, nothing happens. I see the notes on the wiki page (
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI/AMD_HDTV_Wonder ) about alternate subsystem IDs that are not supported, but I'm not sure how to proceed from there.
If someone can give me instructions on how to get more information about the hardware I will be glad to investigate.
Here's the relevant output from lspci -v
04:02.0 Multimedia controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device ac00
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device b359
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at fdb00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Memory at fdae0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Can anyone tell me, is it likely / possible that this card will work in linux any time soon, or should I be looking into returning it and finding something more likely to work?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Rebecca

Rebecca,
When you read that the HDTV Wonder was supported, that would be the cx2388x-based HDTV Wonder, which uses the NXT2004 ATSC/QAM demodulator.
The card that you have is using ATi's own chipset, which currently does not have a driver within the v4l/dvb linux kernel subsystems.
It is _not_ likely that the card will work under Linux anytime soon. I'm sorry to deliver the bad news.
Regards,
Mike
