    No, it wouldn't be impossible.  A suitable userland hotplug script would
    be perfectly capable of looking for a local file that satisfies the
    request.

It seems impossible to me.  Could you explain how it could do this?

As I understand it, the script would receive a only number.
This number would be unpredictably different each time,
for the same firmware.  How could that program possibly
determine which firmware file corresponds to the request?
