Older versions of compat-wireless had a race condition in the firmware
code that could cause that. From the log of the compat repository:
commit 524449c0184d44773d4947db8cd3bfd98a0a215f
Author: Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@gmail.com>
Date: Thu Apr 22 16:54:02 2010 +0300
compat: fix uevent_suppress on 2.6.29 or older kernels
Missing uevent_suppress is causing two uevents instead of one, which is
confusing udev and sometimes causing firmware load to fail due to race
condition, so let's add it.
