IVTV TikiWiki : PVR150-500Firmware

indicates that HcwFalcn.rom (pvr-150mce firmware) should be
symlinked to ivtv-fw-enc.bin. I already have an ivtv-fw-enc.bin
recommended by the IVTV WIKI for my pvr-350. These encoder
firmwares clearly are different (md5sum). Is there no way to
specify a firmware file for each card or can there be only one
(highlander style)? I wouldn't worry about this but I'm getting
card specific problems while watching live tv or recordings while
they are still recording.
I wouldn't symlink anything. Just put all the firmware together in
one location. Mine (for a PVR500) looks like this :
$ ls -la /lib/modules
<snip>
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 376836 Jun 10 14:31 HcwFalcn.rom
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14264 Jun 10 14:31 HcwMakoA.ROM
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Jun 10 14:33 ivtv-fw-enc.bin
You only really either HcwFalcn.rom or ivvtv-fw-enc.bin. Also, no
renaming or symlinks are required, you can just use the ivtv_efw
module parameter.
On my 350/500 system I'm using the recommended firmware that I
originally got when I only had a 350. then I just tossed the Hcw roms in
there from the driver figuring the encoder can just use the firmware I
used with the 350. It seems to work fine minus the actual problems in
the drivers that are pretty much fixed now on the 150's for me with
todays SVN. So I just leave it alone.

But more specifically, this is what gets used.
