>> - How do I "run the script" 

If I recall correctly the last time I did it. 

[Overview] 

I downloaded the .zip and the script into a directory 
I dropped to a console and entered the directory 
I changed the permission on the script so it would be executable 
I followed the scripts instructions to copy the files to the /lib/firmware directory. 

[Details] 

Create folder (I called mine firm) 

Download both the .zip and the script to the firm folder 

Drop to a console 

Enter the firm folder (Mine is located in /home/doug/firm) 

cd /home/doug/firm 

Set the execute bit on the script 

sudo chmod a+x extract.sh 

Run the script 

./extract.sh 

The output of that script will show: 

/extract.sh

Now manually copy firmware into your firmware dir 
E.g. sudo cp v4l-cx23885-enc.fw /lib/firmware/3.5.0-17-generic 
E.g. sudo cp v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw /lib/firmware/3.5.0-17-generic
