Prism54 firmware load failure only during boot

[Andrew]

Hi,

I just read through your bz.   I think that RH should reconsider that patch to the network-functions.  There is more than just one agent in the hotplug world.  What about the hotplug event that fire while that is running. without  normal  /sbin/hotplug script directing the flow to the right userspace stuff.   I can see lots of possible breakage from the way it is right now.
Here is the patch I am referring to
--- network-functions	2004-08-25 17:52:38.000000000 +0100
+++ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions	2004-08-25 17:53:52.000000000 +0100

         return 2
     fi
     HOTPLUG=`cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug`
-    echo "/bin/true" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
+    echo "/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
     modprobe $1 > /dev/null 2>&1 || {
       echo "$HOTPLUG" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
       return 1
I don't think this is the right thing to do and HMMM I was missing hotplug events getting to HAL.  -- I think we might have found where the real issue is -- HAL or anything else can't see hotplug events that hijacked like this patch does.
