The FW package install firmware to
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and /etc/firmware fine for
Debian I guess, but Fedota hotplug package is
configured for using /lib/firmware, natural reaction
might be just creating the dir manually this causes de
FW to fail to load:
Failed to load zd1201.fw firmware file!
Make sure the hotplug firmware loader is installed.
Goto http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net for more info
zd1201: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -2
while hotplug is installed in fedora kernel and working
properly.
could install and work correctly using modified
makefile (patch):

I don't know the correct way to build a makefile valid
for both distros (sorry little makefile knowledge),
maybe probing with test for both dirs and installing to
the existing one.
