I don't know if fxload is obsolete -- it sounds like it's a program that
simply downloads the firmware. What you want to do is find a way to run
fxload when udev encounters the CD Writer. That's possible by writing a
udev rule that looks for the CD Writer and using the RUN construct.
Try looking at <http://www.disaggregate.com/blog/technicalweblog/> and
the articles referenced therein.
