With current systemd and Linux kernel I'm seeing a problem
with loading the iwlwifi firmware at boot time:

[ 14.236171] iwlwifi: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver
for Linux, in-tree:
[ 14.236174] iwlwifi: Copyright(c) 2003-2012 Intel
Corporation
[ 14.236349] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: pci_resource_len =
0x00002000
[ 14.236352] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: pci_resource_base =
ffffc90000078000
[ 14.236354] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: HW Revision ID = 0x34
[ 14.236750] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: irq 49 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 14.478203] firmware 0000:03:00.0: firmware_loading_store:
unexpected value (0)
[ 14.716820] firmware 0000:03:00.0: firmware_loading_store:
unexpected value (0)
[ 14.717063] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: request for firmware file
'iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode' failed.
[ 14.717117] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: no suitable firmware
found!

This is on a ThinkPad T420s. After booting is finished I can
modprobe -r iwlwifi and reload the module, then the firmware
loads OK (version 18.168.6.1, iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode). But it
would nice to have it "just work". Any suggestions? Thanks.
