SAA7160 ( TBS 6680 ) problems, module does not load, no dvb adaptor nodes created.

[HÃken Hveem]

Hi, i have followed the instructions here:
https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS_driver_installation#Building_the_Open_Source_Driver

My kernel is:
4.4.0-45-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 19 14:12:37 UTC 2016 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


The problem is that the module does not load on boot,at least it looks
like that.

There are nothing about saa7160 or similar in the dmesg output.

lspci -v results in:

I don't know what causes this problem, or perhaps the instructions are outdated?
I have the same problem on Mythbuntu, with the newest distro installed.
Can anyone help?
