What is the real meaning of "could not load firmware, file not found:"?
Check the correct firmware directory with: $ grep FIRMWARE_DIR= /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
If that file is not present, please install hotplug.
Things should work without the stupid hotplug. If the firmware files are in the correct directory, why cant they be loaded without hotplug.
Because some script need to that : echo 1 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading cat $HOTPLUG_FW_DIR/$FIRMWARE > /sys/$DEVPATH/data echo 0 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
you could to it by hand if you don't like hotplug, but you shoud increase the timeout and be fast ;)
After reactivating hotpkug is noticed, that the boot process needs significantly longer than without.
just remove hotplug init.d script or do something like : chmod a-x /etc/hotplug/*.rc
And if you want you could even write a script that only manage firmware event and make /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug point to it...
