Prism54 firmware load failure only during boot

[Neil Gierman]

I just upgraded from FC2 to FC3test3 and noticed a new behavior with my
Netgear WG511.
 
In FC2 I would get a failure during network init because eth1 (the prism54)
was not found. As soon as pcmcia started then the module would load and
insert into my wireless network without any action from me.
 
Now in FC3test3, the prism54 module loads and complains about not being able
to load the firmware (the firmware is in the correct place according to
/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent). As soon as get a shell I rmmod prism54 and
modprobe prism54 and it loads and is able to upload the firmware just fine
(which I have now added the rmmod and modprobe to rc.local so I can reboot
remotely and still gain access after reboot). I updated all packages
(including kernel) that were available from yum and the same symptoms are
there. I searched bugzilla and didn't see anything on the prism54.
 
Has anyone seen this, or should it go to bugzilla?
