If the goal is to boot a diskless Linux box (who supports those?)
using a USB networking device that needs firmware download before
it can be used ... that'd be _exactly_ analagous to needing to
boot from a disk controller that needs firmware downloaded before
it will work.  In both cases, if the boot ROM doesn't download it,
then the system won't boot.
