yes, the firmware included in Gutsy is not the recommended one.

The recommended firmware version for the ivtv driver is included in http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz
It is indeed a 376836 bytes file.

@ Ubuntu developers:
I recommend to fix the bug in the next release of the ubuntu 2.6.22-kernel and supply the correct firmware
