HEADS-UP: udev 176+ exposes some broken netdev driver's firmware loading

[Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx>]

Recent udev versions will need fixes for some network drivers blocking
in modprobe and trying to load firmware.

It's caused by:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=43d5c5f03645c4b842659f9b5bd0ae465e885e92

Depending on the response on netdev, packages or upstream will need to
revert that until the drivers are fixed. In the long run, the 'block
in module_init() until the firmware is loaded' model will no longer
work.

The netdev mail is here:

Thanks,
Kay
