Below is what I've done in the past hour to try to further resolve this
until I found a recent kernel bug concerning hotplug & firmwares:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129882
so apparently the module couldn't find the firmware binary.

a Google search turned out some debian folks with the same problems who
