The messages below tell us that you are using the hotplug firmware loading
mechanism. The firmware goes in a different place when using this.
Unfortunately, it's different on different distros.
grep FIRMWARE_DIR /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
That command should tell you what dirs the hotplug firmware loader will look in.
Just drop the firmware files in that dir and you are ready to go.

I've tried copying the firmware off the CD again into /lib/modules as
per the writeme.ch wiki instructions, and I've also tried downloading
the drivers and using ivtvfwextract.pl; both had identical results.
