DWL-G520 PCI Wireless firmware not loading


SuSE 10.1 on P-III/1Ghz, using ndiswrapper, Win XP gplus driver and firmware. dmesg doesn't mention even trying to load firmware and without it no doubt explains why no packets are sent. Can't see why hotplug isn't loading it.

jack:~ # ls /lib/firmware
FwRad17.bin GPLUS.inf GPLUS.sys

From .config
============
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
