I don't know what this problem is, but the change in behaviour along 
with the fact that a manual unload/reload works, suggests that you have 
/usr on a different partition than /, and it's not mounted yet during 
the boot process when it first tries to initialize the card. So putting 
the firmware in /lib/firmware is probably the right thing to do.
