And the problem was... udevd was dead, so it couldn't load the firmware. It took me a good guessing effort for realizing that firmware is loaded by udev, I was indeed experiencing the same loading firmware problem with another module and finally I read something about the firmware being loaded by udev. Please improve the behaviour of the module so that it will check for the presence of udevd and tell explicitely if it isn't present rather than hang forever trying to load the firmware. Anyway, bug report has to be considered closed, now I have to understand why udevd was dying... Thanks, regards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
