I don't think this card needs a firmware. You just enabled to much dvb
related stuff in your kernel configuration which results in the
creation of this folder. I need the av7110 stuff here for my FF DVB-S
card.
What problem do you have with this card, normally dmesg should spit
something out if there is firmware missing.

I think the functionality from hot- and coldplug is now provided by
udev thus the blocker.
