Firmware.agent says /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.

No, I'm afraid I haven't, so I don't know if hotplug is working.

I notice that the only script I have in /etc/hotplug.d/ is 
default/default.hotplug. Is this expected?

How does the kernel module know which firmware file to use? Is there a mapping 
on my install somewhere that I can check?
