Well, I tried putting links to the image files in /etc/hotplug, 
/etc/hotplug.d, /lib/modules, and named them "v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw" & 
"v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw" respectively. I even made a foldr link to 
/etc/hotplug as /lib/hotplug.  I still get these messages in dmesg:
   ==========================================================
   ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
   ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
   ivtv0 warning: failed loading encoder firmware
   ivtv0 warning: Error loading firmware -3!
   ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware.
   ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization
   ivtv: probe of 0000:00:09.0 failed with error -12
   ivtv:  ====================  END INIT IVTV  ====================

It's beginning to look like this isn't the files that ivtv is looking 
for as "v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw".
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw must be a real v4l file.
