Symbol spectrum24 firmware loading error

I have Intel 4965AGN for which firmware is requested successfully:

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 228.61.2.24
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

For symbol, I downloaded the firmware bins symbol_sp24t_prim_fw, symbol_sp24t_sec_fw and copied them over to /lib/firmware but they are not loaded:

pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: card ejected from slot 0
pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -16)
spectrum_cs: register_netdev() failed
eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -16)

eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -16)
spectrum_cs: register_netdev() failed

Thanks to anyone who helps me figure this one out!

Re: Symbol spectrum24 firmware loading error

I wanted to add: above problem occurs with both 2.6.30-ARCH  2.6.31.5 (vanilla) kernels.

I also tried placing the firmware files in /etc/wlan, and later tweaking /etc/pcmcia/*confs without any luck.
