I see that Francois' patch is present in 2.6.38-rc1; is there a way to
avoid this delay, or is this likely in request_firmware?

It's a known problem with calls to request_firmware() when userland is
not running (early initialisation or resume from sleep).  It may be
fixable.

It was partially fixed in commit
f1e02ed109df5f99abf942b8ccc99960cb09dd38 in linux-2.6.git (r8169: keep
firmware in memory.). Sorry for not reporting it here, I clicked "reply"
instead of "group reply" late in the night.

If this commit could be included in Debian kernel, the bug could be
closed.
