Yes, that's right. The problem is that we now detect missing firmware by scraping the kernel log, and we still pick up old ones after installing firmware and poking the driver. I think we could solve this by noting the timestamp at the bottom of the kernel log every time we scan it, then only checking lines after that on the next scan.
