This has solved the same problem for me in Lucid.
Using a Leadtek Winfast PxDVR3200H which uses the Xceive tuner and thus 
requires the xc3028 firmware.
Here is a snippet of dmesg where you can see the connexant cx23885 fails when 
calling for the xc3028:
[87212.321168] xc2028 1-0061: Error: firmware xc3028-v27.fw not found.

You can see where the firmware was loaded after I installed this package and 
then my card started to work.
Thanks very much for resolving this bug.
