I have no clue how the firmware is being handled by hostap_cs, though, or if it is even handling the firmware! What I do know is that there are many revisions of the firmware, and any of them can be used with varying degrees of stability. Since every firmware version has its version number in its filename, I have no idea whether hostap_cs is looking for a default firmware filename before using the filenames specified in /etc/network/interfaces. Despite lacking a default filename, I went ahead and put the firmware files I had been using in /lib/firmware/<kernel-version>/, rebooted, and... nothing. I will do some digging within hostap and hostap_cs for more info.
