It still doesn't find the firmware after updating the initramfs (sudo update-initramfs -u -k all), whether it is placed at /lib/firmware/nouveau/nvd9_fuc*, /lib/firmware/nouveau/fuc*, /lib/firmware/<kernel_version>/nouveau/nvd9_fuc* or /lib/firmware/<kernel_version>/nouveau/fuc*. (The script uses nvd9_fuc* but http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/NVC0_Firmware/ says just fuc* for pre-NVE0 cards.)

My 3.13-rc7 test kernel was compiled with the procedure in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild; the .config lines containing "nouveau" are
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m
CONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=5
CONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG_DEFAULT=3
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y
and kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko is on the modules.order list, not the modules.builtin list.
