firmware 60s late on a module-less kernel

G'day,

An Intel Wireless-N 1030 wireless card needs 60 seconds to load its firmware on a kernel without modules (CONFIG_MODULES is not set). Works fine when iwlwifi driver is compiled as a module. Is this fixable? Where do I report about the issue?

Tested with linux 3.2 and 3.3-rc3, and udev-v180 on Archlinux.

Thanks.
