Since installing Linux 3.7.1, it happened twice that the firmware was not loaded.

I did not experience that with Linux 3.7. User space is Debian Sid/unstable and it did not change between the update as far as I see.

When restarting it seems to work alright.

Though I do not see any suspicious commits for Linux 3.7.1.

Make sure pci quirks are enabled in your kernel config.  Can you bisect?

That was it. I had those disabled! Sorry for the noise.
