can you post anything extra about your config? arch? full dmesg? full 
.config?

There have been several other reports of this but setting 
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y seems to fix them in general.

also please post lspci -vvv -s 2:1.0, after failing to load.  I'm curious 
if the device might be in D3 still.

you can likely just get working by commenting out the firmware load for 
e100.  It may or may not re-enable a hardware bug depending upon the 
hardware you have.
