These pathes only ever exist for a fraction of a second, during a
kernel initiated firmware request. This request is usually only
handled by the udev firmware loader script, and not interesting for
anything else. Are you replacing the udev firmware script here? Are
you sure you do something else here?

Thanks,
Kay
