Which place?  Was the partition containing it mounted when hotplug was looking 
for the firmware?
Also, what messages did you get in your system log?  This kind of problem has 
come up a couple of
times; I think the kernel firmware loading stuff is buggy (a race condition in 
it was recently
fixed, so if you are lucking the latest -rc kernel may work better).

Does the attached patch help?
