Below also the dmesg output. Yeah, that looks good. The request is still around and waits for userspace to get handled. > [ 11.448059] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, > [ 67.573059] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdbrcm_fw_callback: enter Seems userspace is not doing anything here, it's just the kernel timeout that we run into. If you can manage to do this before the timeout triggers, it should show if things *can* work: Start: udevd --daemon if it's not already running. Trigger 'fake' events for all devices in the system, so that udev 'thinks' the firmware request just came in: udevadm trigger --action=add Normally, all that should be handled by the base system, and not need any custom setup.
