[linux-audio-user] Why doesn't udev start my Midisport at boot time?

[Peter Clarke]

All,
I'm using a Midisport 2x2 with my Gentoo Linux x86 box.  
After booting (2.6.16 kernel, with or without realtime 
patch) my Midisport isn't recognized.  However, after 
disconnecting and reconnecting it, it works fine - the 
firmware gets loaded, and I can start Jack and pass MIDI 
data through it.  (I already got hold of the firmware file, 
set up the udev rule and all that jazz.)

I've googled, but haven't found anything that helps.  Any 
suggestions how to get the Midisport to start straight from 
boot?  It's only a little niggle, but it would help getting 
things running a bit more smoothly.
