[LAU] problems with madfu-firmware and M-Audio Transit in Ubuntu Feisty

[Hector Centeno]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a M-Audio Transit interface to work with Ubuntu
Feisty. I downloaded, built and installed the madfu firmware loader
from the sourceforge site. When I plug the device it seems that for
some reason the madfuload app can't find the device and fails to load
the firmware. Manually executing the same command found in
42-madfuload.rules in a terminal succeeds at loading the firmware and
the device becomes usable. This is what I get in /var/log/syslog:

Apr  3 12:25:14 hector-laptop kernel: [  273.803000] usb 1-2: new full
speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

And actually /proc/bus/usb/001/002 is there but somehow madfuload
can't see it (is it maybe being created after calling the script?).
Executing this command in a terminal works fine: sudo
/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -3 -f
/usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma006100.bin -D /proc/bus/usb/001/002 and
the Transit becomes visible for alsa and jack (despite the fact that
after executing the command I get this error: cannot reset device:
(19) No such device ).

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hector
