Looking in http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware, it seems the firmware 
is hidden under a directory of the card CD, with another name, so they can 
simply be copied over to '/lib/firmware/' and renamed:

 376836 Jan 17  2005 HcwFalcn.rom   -->  v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
  12282 Jul  1  2005 HcwMakoC.ROM   -->  v4l-cx25840.fw
  14264 Apr 20  2005 HcwMakoB.ROM   ?????


The kernel finds it:

Sep 26 03:08:50 minas-morgul kernel: cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware and/or mailbox 
pointer not initialized or corrupted
Sep 26 03:08:58 minas-morgul kernel: cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware upload successful.
Sep 26 03:08:58 minas-morgul kernel: cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware version is 
0x02050032


But now kdetv crashes (xawtv works). Yast still finds no stations at all, 
and there is no sound. xine doesn't work, either (dvb?).
