mdev will not launch any of those "prebuild helper binaries"
automatically, unless you added any explicit rules to tell it to in
mdev.conf
If you could make it work by just enabling mdev, it is more likely mdev
only helped by serving files from /lib/firmware to the module, which -as
mentioned- is not strictly necessary in recent kernels.
Yours sincerely,
