To answer the question you ask on the ticket: running femon is just a
workaround for getting the tuner recognised initially. After that it
all works as normal, without femon, at least in my experience. The
existing ticket was closed because it's seen as an upstream problem, but
it still causes anguish.
And I should add to my comments on the 290e that the kmdl I'm using with
the el6 kernel was last updated for driver changes in Nov 2011. I would
expect recent mainstream kernels to work without add-ons.
