Hi Geeks When I put the firmware in the old location '/lib/firmware' SuSE 10.1 and IVTV 0.6.3 can load the firmware. This is in contrast to the IVTV documentation for SuSE stating that the firmware location is /usr/bin/hotplug/firmware.
Because I do not know how SuSE or IVTV determines the location of the firmware directory I cannot investigate this any further.
