Is the hardware driver module include with the kernel? That could work. If module is loaded, check with dmesg what happen when. You may have forgotten to include the firmware inside initramfs (in /lib/firmware?). Firmware could too be embedded inside the kernel module. That depend of your kernel configuration. Wich udev version did you use? I am battling with udev-153 to make it work where udev-151 was working.
