I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1056507&mode=linear

Someone describes how to compile the kernel for v4l-dvb in ubuntu
with 2.6.15-23-686 kernel (2006).  Maybe the latest Ubuntu includes your 
device?  How long does it take you to download Ubuntu at 256K/sec?

Linux Kernel Configuration

Video for Linux  n

DVB For Linux (DVB)  y
DVB Core Support (DVB_CORE) m

etc.  They have a USB model so don't follow this exactly.
Support for various USB DVB devices should be n not m

I don't know if you need more than those first two lines and the module 
source code.
