I don't use Ubuntu so I'm not really sure what to expect. Ubuntu is
based on Debian which I do use though. You might try the Ubuntu forums
or something like that for more specific advice...
You could try
dpkg -l "*plug*"
with the quotes to see if you have hot and/or cold-plug installed. I'd
have thought this was in the basic install with something like Ubuntu
though.
You could also try
dpkg -l "udev"
to check that you have udev. I'd also be very surprised if that wasn't
there. Do you have a /lib/udev full of scripts?
In both cases only lines which start "ii" refer to installed packages,
other lines relate to available packages. If you are missing one of the
above and you can see it in the list (but not installed) then try
apt-get install <pkg>
If you have apt-file installed you might be able to do
apt-file update
apt-file search firmware.agent
and it might tell you the package you need.
I went and looked at your original mail again and I noticed:

Notice that the filenames are different -- are you sure you are using
the correct firmware file(s) and that you are moving all of them?
From looking at the breezy instructions I'd have said the firmware bit
should be correct if you replace /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
with /lib/firmware throughout.
