Which version of the ivtv driver are you using ?

0.4.0 needed the files in /lib/modules

0.4.1 and newer need the files in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.

I've been using 0.4.0 under Ubuntu with no issues, and 0.4.2 under
Knoppmyth.

In 0.42 its in the utils/ subdirectory.

BTW you might want to use the look at the main documentation
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware (a lot of the howtos are a bit
out-of-date and are for older versions): I followed this for setting up
0.42 in Ubuntu Breezy (and it works fine)

Thanks, I didn't look in the utils directory, that will teach me for
being lazy... :-)

Never been a fan of RTFM myself :-) But while I think its a stretch to
call it a "howto" I documented some of the other gotchas I found
installing on ubuntu so I could remember them later, which might come in
handy for you too:

I got this from dmesg, haven't tried it yet as I'm still at work.
Should be OK (fingers crossed)
