dvb0_0 device not found

Hello,

I am trying to use a Hauppauge Nexus DVB-S device for high speed
internet access with Linux. The DVB driver could be installed without
any problem and runs perfectly with VDR.
My Problem: I'm not able to start the network interface for the DVB
device, the command "ifconfig -a dvb0_0" ends with the error "dvb0_0:
Fehler beim Auslesen der Schnittstelleninformation: Gerät nicht
gefunden" (Error while reading interface information: device not
found).
I'm using following configuration:
System: Suse Linux 8.0
Kernel: 2.4.18-4GB
DVB driver: linuxtv-dvb-1.0.0-pre2

Could it be that there is a configuration problem in the linux system
or in the DVB driver?

I would be pleased with every hint. Thanks for it in advance.

I would try and see where the device is in /dev or /proc
Maybe /proc/bus
Does 'dmesg' give any hint?

Thanks for Your answer.
Checking the directories /dev and /proc/bus as well as 'dmesg' did not
help. In /dev olny exist following dvb related dirs:
/dev/dvb/adapter0
/dev/dvb/adapter1
/dev/dvb/adapter2
/dev/dvb/adapter3

In the logfile /var/log/messages I found an entry
"modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module dvb0_0 " as result of calling
"ifconfig -a dvb0_0".

The file /etc/modules.conf has no entry like "alias dvb0_0 xxxxx".
Should this entry exist?

Is there any additional manual configuration necessary to get the
dvb0_0 device (kernel configuration) or is the installation of the dvb
driver (make insmod) responsible for creation of dvb0_0 device?
