Thanks for the suggestions. I couldn't wait to try it. I did the following, the 
firmware still cannot be opened 
A) I removed the symlinks and made a copy of the file 
cp ./ivtv-fw-enc.bin ./v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 
cp ./ivtv-fw-dec.bin ./v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 

B) Restarted IVTV 
modprobe -r ivtv 
modprobe -r tveeprom 
depmod -ae 
modprobe ivtv 
modprobe tveeprom 

Still cannot open the firmware 

C) Copied the files 
cp /lib/firmware/* /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware* 

B) Restarted IVTV 
Result : still cannot open the firmware 

D) Reboot + start IVTV 
Result : still cannot open the firmware 

ziggy:/# find -iname v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 
/lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 

ziggy:/# find -iname v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 
/lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 

ziggy:/lib/firmware# md5sum v4l* 
305dba74bbe5905447add8883f3ecb68 v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 
d85cb08382395390dc95ac6ebc2205f9 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 

E) Removed the v4* files in /lib/firmware/ and in /lib/modules 

B) Restarted, no results 

F) apt-get install hotplug 
B) restarted IVTV, no results 

P.s. /etc/hotplug.d/pci# 
Does not ccontain any files. 
But the log mentions 
Dec 28 17:52:37 ziggy kernel: cpci_hotplug: CompactPCI Hot Plug Core version: 
0.2 
Dec 28 17:52:37 ziggy kernel: pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 


G) changed the file permissions 
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 262144 Dec 31 07:02 v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 262144 Dec 31 07:02 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 
Still no results 

Any suggestions?
