This does not show the firmware files. Try to get it from [1] and reinstall them just to be sure they are correct. > > Where does it look for the firmware when there is no hotplug > > mechanism?

Check in your udev rules.d directory (for me /etc/udev/rules.d) and find the file which has the firmware loading. grep -R firmware * 50-udev.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="firmware.sh" For me this is 50-udev.rules but slackware might have it in another place. Now check the script and it should have the firmware directories specified.
