At least on fedora 7, those files should be put in "/lib/firmware" -
works for me :-)
Here is what I have for my PVR-500:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -al /lib/firmware
.
.
.
.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 376836 2007-06-06 12:56 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155648 2007-06-06 12:56 v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16382 2007-06-06 12:56 v4l-cx25840.fw
.
.
Cheers,
