Not that daemon is the right word..  I thought this stuff filled the value 
of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug, but it seems to default to /sbin/hotplug anyway.  
All the rc scripts seem to do is run hotplug for cold-plugged devices.

Still, some things worth checking:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
should be /sbin/hotplug

/sbin/hotplug
should give a list of agent names, including firmware.

sed -n 's/^.* \([^ ]*\) sysfs .*$/\1/p' /proc/mounts
should be /sys

Cheers,
Alex
