Are they? Show me. What I'm saying is modprobe doesn't load firmware and
udev does since that was the observed behavior here. The OP in this very
thread installed firmware and modprobed the driver but wifi device still
didn't work.

I don't know, feel free look it up and share. All I know there was once
a specific command to load fw for an old 3G modem I have in an old
laptop but today that seems to happen automatically.
