The module is loaded but it cannot find firmware images.

I think I've found the reason, though: with initramfs-tools 0.88 here's
what goes under /lib/udev:

ls /tmp/new/lib/udev/
firmware.agent

firmware.agent tries (and fails) to source /lib/udev/hotplug.functions

And the following is /lib/udev with former versions of initramfs-tools:

ls /tmp/old/lib/udev/
ata_id    edd_id          hotplug.functions  path_id  usb_id
cdrom_id  firmware.agent  ide.agent          scsi_id  vol_id

ciao,
