Please can you tell me something to do about this?
The firmware image file could not be loaded; verify it is present and named properly. The driver in cvs will accept either 2.4 or 3.x rev image formats so if you get the filename right it should just work. Unfortunately there was a period of time where the driver in cvs would only accept rev 3.0 firmware then the names associated with the firmware changed, etc. As a result some people have bogus firmware files on their system.
When in doubt you can pre-load the firmware with kldload. Unfortunately firmware(9) doesn't have any debug msgs to show things like firmware images being registered. This would be useful for cases like this.
