You have been subscribed to a public bug by Sebastien Bacher (seb128):
according to the kernel doc
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/firmware_class/README
Linux kernel will search firmware from
"/lib/firmware/updates/" UTS_RELEASE,
"/lib/firmware/updates",
"/lib/firmware/" UTS_RELEASE,
"/lib/firmware"
But the add module function in initramfs-tools won't search the
"/lib/firmware/updates".
This problem applies to all Ubuntu releases.
Attach patch to fix this.
