81--------------------------

83If you happen to be running multiple cards, it would be advisable to load
84the bttv module with the card id. This would help to solve any module loading
85problems that you might face.

92Here the order of the card id is important and should be the same as that of the
93physical order of the cards. Here card=0x71 represents the Twinhan and clones
94and card=0x87 represents Fusion HDTV5.
