Bug Description

This requires a trivial patch which was added to our hotplug by Herbert Xu,
which searches for firmware with $(uname -r) appended, as we ship firmware with
the kernel.

Not a priority, just filing it here so we don't forget

  * Search for firmware in /lib/firmware as well as
    /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.
  * Search for firmware with filenames including the kernel version number
    (closes: Warty #1316).
