I'm not sure which binary daemon you are referring too, but I just let
the hotplug system load the firmware. By the sounds of things, hotplug
is already loading the kernel module. Maybe try copying your firmware
image to: /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and see what happens.
If you need to tweak the rc files use the update-rc.d utility. It is
much cleaner then manually linking the files.
