This is fc3, right? The location of the firmware changed in my packages
to be the same as the original location in the fc3 packages, an
oversight on my part when I did the initial packages. 

Maybe that's the culprit? See if you have firmware files for the device
in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, the new location is in /lib/firmware (fc3
only), maybe you need to copy them there...
