I had the same problem here. No matter what I did, I didn't get any
subdirectories in /sys/class/firmware/* (which prevents firmware.agent
from providing the firmware for the device when you type ifconfig
ethX up).

I ended up patching the prism54 source code in such a way that it loads
the firmware directly and without hotplug. Since I did that all of my
prism cards work fine!

Let me know if you want to try the patch and I'll mail it to you.
