Sorry for this, however I've read all of the other threads and none of them seemed to solve my problem. I'm running Debian Etch with a custom compiled kernel version 2.6.22.5. I followed the how-to as well as I could, but no matter what I did I get the following in /var/log/dmesg:

I'm using udev 114, and hotplug has been removed/purged. The firware was downloaded from here:
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz
and extracted into my /lib/firmware directory as well as /usr/local/lib/firmware and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. The /lib/udev/hotplug.functions lists those three directories for FIRMWARE_DIRS. I verified that v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw is the right size (376836 bytes).

I'd really appreciate some help with this.
Cheers,
Erik

What howto did you follow?  (URLs are always good....)
One thing to check is:  Did you name things v4l (vee-four-ell),
or v41 (vee-four-one)?  Where did you actually wind up with the
firmware files???  Could you do an 'ls -l' on your firmware
files? or do a "locate v4l | grep '\.fw'"?
