Comment 17 for bug 118539

Using the current "Fedora" development tree, that's hard to tell for me. Here, "hotplug" is not used at all. What I can state is that on my sytem, the firmware can be found at "/lib/firmware/tiacx111c16". You might want to try copying your firmware file to this location or have a look at the "hotplug" scripts of your system and/or the driver source.
For your information, I have attached the "dmesg" output which shows the correct function of the kernel module for my system. Btw, I am using F/W 2.3.1.31 but F/W 1.2.1.34 works equally well.
