Maybe that was dragged from long time ago and used incorrectly. I'm 100% sure that new versions of hotplug try to look at /lib/firmware and was /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware before, but there was some discussion that /lib would make more sense cause /usr could be dependant on other stuff. Jesper already signed the patch. .Alejandro
