This is hotplug failing to upload the firmware. (unless you are running out of memory, which is unlikely) You should check that /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent is doing it's job correctly. On my debian system, the directories searched for firmware is specified with: FIRMWARE_DIRS="/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware" Check FIRMWARE_DIRS in firmware.agent first. Then assure that firmware.agent is actually called, and that the firmware file is found. Kenneth
