I am trying to get a Digigram VxPocket sound card working, and really need some advice on how to proceed.
The system is an ASUS L5000-series laptop running DeMuDi 1.2.1. The kernel is 2.6.12-3-multimedia. So far, I have installed the pcmcia-cs package and the hotplug package. (Do I need both of these? Do they conflict in any way?) From what I have read of documentation, it seems that with 2.6-kernels, hotplug is the way to go. Does having the "cardmgr" running interfere with this? I have also downloaded the alsa-firmware corresponding to the alsa version installed (1.0.9). (DeMuDi does not distribute this firmware.) I ran "./configure --disable-loader", "make" and "make install". This resulted in a set of files being placed under /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, among them, it seems, files related to the vxpocket cards. The PCCard system itself seems to be working. At boot, a Yenta card bus bridge is found. And "cardinfo" seems to notice that the card is present, but only says "unsupported card". "alsaconf" does not find the card. Trying to load the snd-vxpocket module gives no errors, and the module seems to be loaded afterwards (see below), but the card is still not found by "alsaconf". I have tried to run "vxloader" (is that depreceated?), which gives the message "no VX-compatible cards found". Where do I go from here? How do I get the card to be recognized? And what do I do to get the firmware uploaded to the card?
