I have no idea where it should be in FC, as i do not use it. Seems one
problem to solve though.

Good question below, can you find out in FC what the firmware directory is?
I am also missing the reports on loading the firmware for the 350. Those
really need to be loaded. I see no success and no failure report on it
though, perhaps because the firmware directory is empty or non-existing?

And i would remove the options. Now adays ivtv usually works better
without them.
