mdev is hardcoded for that path because it is the standard path that all Linux

you enabled the options in the busybox config right ?  and the file 
/lib/firmware/dvb-usb-wt220u-fc03.fw exists ?

otherwise i would upgrade to latest busybox and linux release.  firmware 
loading seems to be working fine for us with linux 2.6.28+ and busybox 1.13+.
