Recent udev versions will need fixes for some network drivers blocking in modprobe and trying to load firmware. It's caused by: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=43d5c5f03645c4b842659f9b5bd0ae465e885e92 Depending on the response on netdev, packages or upstream will need to revert that until the drivers are fixed. In the long run, the 'block in module_init() until the firmware is loaded' model will no longer work.
