Subject: firmware load failed if /sbin/udevsend is used
Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2005 13:59:28 +0900
Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-17

If hotplug is used with udev, that is /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is 
"/sbin/udevsend", ipw2200 firmware downloading failed.

ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 0.12
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection
ipw2200: ipw2200_boot.fw load failed
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:04.0 failed with error -5

In this case, it seems we see only "timeout" file in /sys/class/firmware 
while running firmware agent.

If I set "/sbin/hotplug" to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug, it works.

     so I add workaround fix to this.
     Recommends upgrade kernel 2.6.10 or later.
