I have hotplug installed, and firmware.agent seems to be present
in /etc/hotplug. The Gentoo packages I'm using are as follows:

hotplug-20040401
hotplug-base 20040401

Perhaps this was someone's idea of an April Fool's joke? These seem to
be the most-recent versions avaliable in Gentoo, even in unstable.

Do I need CONFIG_FW_LOADER enabled in the Kernel? The help page states
it's only needed where no in-kernel-tree modules require hotplug
firmware loading support, so I figured it didn't apply to the Bluez
stuff. It's compiled as a module at present, but perhaps this is the
problem.
