I originally had the problem with a Broadcom BCM43225 wireless. This was with a 3.8 kernel. This was solved by a patch to the kernel brcmsmac driver and this is still working with a 3.14 kernel.
What sort of patch was that? Driver brcmsmac is still using request_firmware().
Currently I have the problem with an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130. The problem was present with a 3.11 kernel and currently with a 3.14 kernel. udev version 204-5linuxmint.
The current Intel drivers all use request_firmware_nowait(), but I'm not sure when they were changed.
A friend seems to have the problem with a Realtek 8129se wireless but we are still checking out that this is the problem.
To my knowledge, there is no Realtek 8129se driver. Do you mean rtl8192se? If so, that one has used request_firmware_nowait() for some time.
