 recovery blocks access to only the filesystem being recovered, and that
 the firmware load is done by a process created by a kernel thread.

 i think you're right.  the firmware is coming from the initrd, not the
 ext3 root fs that's in need of recovery.  if indeed there's a correlation
 (what i've seen in the logs may be coincidental) it could have to do with
 competing for the sdio controller.  but after some testing yesterday
 (dd'ing to and from an SD card while booting the wlan card) i doubt that.
 the problem is far more likely to be related to the reset issue that wad
 points out.
