Under debian, it is /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/. A bit of googleing
makes me think it is the same in Suse10.
Also, my kernel 2.6.15-rc5 source indicates that it is looking for the
following filenames: "dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw" and
"dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw".

Yeah, I don't have an antenna mast on my appt. The indoor antenna just
doesn't do the job, but I'm not really interested in the effort of
putting up a mast.
