With the firmware not beeing present during boot, I got a kernel error message about firmware not beeing found, instead of working wifi. That's why it seemed that the firmware belongs into initramfs. Putting the firmware into initramfs solved the problem. Otherwise users would be supposed to remove and reinsert the module by modifing some script in /etc/init.d/ somwhere before the interface is going to be acessed, which would work (but not for compiled-in drivers), but wouldn't be exactly user friendly.
