Can you do a 'locate firmware.agent' to see whether you have multiple
instances. If you don't have locate, then either the findutils package
might have it, or you could fall back and do a
'find / -name firmware.agent'. However that could take some time,
depending upon the size of your filesystem(s).

After playing around with some logging I found that when doing a
'modprobe ivtv' hotplug never enters firmware.agent. No logging
messages ever come from that file. It appears however that it does try
to load several agents.../etc/hotplug/drivers.agent and
/etc/hotplug/i2c.agent for example. Those agents don't actually exist,
so I'm assuming that some default agent takes over.
It is somewhat confusing that the firmware.agent is never actually used
considering that is where the FIRMWARE_DIR is set. I copied the
firmware.agent file to drivers.agent just to verify that would actually
be called on a modprobe and it does.
I'm not sure what my next step could possibly be. Hotplug and udev are
fairly new to me. I suppose I can play around with some more logging in
hotplug.functions. Does anyone know what actually prints the IVTV log
messages? I'm still at a loss as to why it doesn't list what firmware
drivers it wants to load...

On my system, my stuff is being handled/loaded by udev, which seems to
have its own set of helper files in /lib/udev/firmware.agent and
/lib/udev/hotplug.functions.
This whole hotplug/udev this kind of confusing to me as to who is
handling which piece. If you still can't get it to work, then my
suggestion is to start putting 'echo' statements into firmware.agent.
If you don't see any output, you know you aren't looking at the proper
instance. If you do start to see output (maybe 'echo in firmware.agent
>> /var/log/syslog' as a starter), then you can output what directory
you are looking in, and what's there/not there.....
