[linux-audio-user] fxload and Midisport firmware

[Florin Andrei]

I upgraded to Fedora 6 and now I want to reinstall the firmware for my 
M-Audio Midisport 4x4 interface:

http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/

This software requires fxload:

# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for fxload... /sbin/fxload
configure: error: /sbin/fxload not found; please install the fxload 
package first

The problem is, fxload is not included in FC6 and I think I remember 
even with FC5 it was deprecated.

What's the deal here, is fxload really just an old application that is 
now outdated? Is there any other way to install and load the firmware on 
FC6?
