firmware loading problem

[phoenix24]

Hello:

I have an USB modem which uses the ueagle-atm module and the first time gentoo loads it loads the modem firmware and all its ok. The problem is that when I disconnect the modem (or remove the module ueagle-atm) if I connect the modem again (or try to load the module again) the kernel can't find the firmware anymore.

This is what i get from /var/log/messages when my pc boots:

Nov 22 02:40:00 phoenix usb 2-2: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9021) : Eagle II

Nov 22 02:40:07 phoenix usb 2-2: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 44e2ea17

and this is what i get when i disconnect and connect the modem again:

Nov 22 02:44:29 phoenix usb 2-2: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9022) : Eagle II

Nov 22 02:44:39 phoenix usb 2-2: [UEAGLE-ATM] firmware is not available

this started to happen after I made the last gentoo update.

Any idea of what should I do?

Thanks in advance
