You don't say what kernel version or distribution you are using, but
hotplug has been replaced in favor of udev on modern kernels, and most
modules use the request_firmware() call to load their own firmware.
Depending on distro, usually the search path includes at least
/lib/firmware.

If you are using a kernel old enough that hotplug is still used, I don't
remember the answer off hand.
