Hmm... My laptop dual-boots into Windows 98 (under which the Oxygen 8
works OK) and Linux. I've found that, to use my UA-30 Audio Interface, I
have to boot first into Windows (which, as I understand it,
automatically downloads the firmware to the UA-30) then warm-boot into
Linux. Might the same be true for the Oxygen 8? If so, might I be able
to find some info from the setup or from my Windows cdrom that could
help you?

I have looked at the USB MIDI Interfaces Nano HOWTO on Planet CCRMA, but
am not sure if it would help or hurt to try what it suggests for the
Midisports with the Oxygen 8 (as I recall, you had said that the drivers
and firmware were different), so haven't tried what it suggests yet.
