On my system, my stuff is being handled/loaded by udev, which seems to
have its own set of helper files in /lib/udev/firmware.agent and
/lib/udev/hotplug.functions.
This whole hotplug/udev this kind of confusing to me as to who is
handling which piece. If you still can't get it to work, then my
suggestion is to start putting 'echo' statements into firmware.agent.
If you don't see any output, you know you aren't looking at the proper
instance. If you do start to see output (maybe 'echo in firmware.agent
>> /var/log/syslog' as a starter), then you can output what directory
you are looking in, and what's there/not there.....

Portage seemed to take care of most of those steps but I redid them
manually, verifying that the FIRMWARE_DIR in hotplug's firmware.agent
was pointing to the correct path, and that that path was on the root
filesystem.
I also verified the md5sums for the files.
Thanks,
Scott
