@Chase Douglas:

Something fishy may be going on...those debug messages weren't triggered.

I used:
patch < firmware.sh.patch
modprobe -r e100
modprobe e100
tail /var/log/syslog

which showed:

but none of your extra debug tracing. A full reboot shouldn't be needed to trigger the firmware loader, should it?
