According to what I've seen, people started complaining in 182, not 187. See for example http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/13085/ which is a thread where you were involved too.. See also the arch linux thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134012&p=1 And see this email from Kay Sievers that shows that it was all known about and intentional in the udev camp: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg185742.html There's a possible patch suggested here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-August/006357.html but quite frankly, I am leery of the fact that the udev maintenance seems to have gone into some "crazy mode" where they have made changes that were known to be problematic, and are pure and utter stupidity. Having the module init path load the firmware IS THE SENSIBLE AND OBVIOUS THING TO DO for many cases. The fact that udev people have apparently unilaterally decided that it's somehow wrong is scary.
