I'm certainly no expert, but one thought comes to my mind based on my experience (PVR250 on Debian running 2.6.16-1-686):
Do you have one (or more) directories under /lib/modules, representing the particular kernel version you're running? If so, have you tried putting a copy (or a link) of the firmware under that directory (e.g. /lib/modules/2.6.16-1-686/<here>? Good luck!
