Congratulations! If that is true you bring the first card with the
new saa7135 chip to the list.
Any information, a listing of the chips, tuner, remote, photos to a
webpage ...?

The saa7134-0.2.1 is from 2002-10 and has no support for any asus-card
yet and the saa7135 is not even in the default catch for unknown cards.
(is that completly outdated driver version a known mandrake issue?)

Cards from asus usually have a eeprom. A current version of the driver
with the appropriate v4l2 and driver patches for a most recent kernel
should be used to read this out. Then a new PCI subsystem ID for that
saa7135 card can be created in
saa7134-cards.c and a new card entry, maybe using settings from known
asus-card(s) as a first try. The card_name and number has also to be set
in saa7134.h. Compare with recently submitted patches for new cards like
videomate_tv, md2819 ... maybe you can get the tuner to work first.
