yet another unable to open firmware thread...

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:

Linux video capture interface: v2.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.17 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22.5 mod_unload PENTIUM4 ) loading
ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
*ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 376836 bytes)*
ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
ivtv0: Retry loading firmware
ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 376836 bytes)
ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
ivtv0: Error initializing firmware
ivtv0: Error -19 on initialization
ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================


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
