Umm. Neither would the module.

So I assume you are doing the module load from the disk, not the initrd?

Or are you rebuilding the module into the initrd? If so, why didn't you do 
the firmware too and my "load directly from file" idea which is pretty 
simple? IOW, what's the fundamnetal problem here?

But hey, if you _do_ the "link it together", go ahead. I don't see why 
it's so magically superior, but I wanted it for the compiled-in driver 
case, so it's not fundamentally different from that either. And I can't 
really find the energy to care any more.
