Hi Thomas, der list!
Thanks for the information, i did an upgrade to a 2.6.11-5 kernel, and
got alsa-drivers and -tools from the alsa-snapshots page, version
1.0.9rc1. I of course enabled the hotplug-fw-loader in the kernel.
after one reboot, the card worked, even when going to computer suspend
mode(!) and at re-inserting the card.
But after i had one computer crash (i was unplugging the powersupply off
the mutiface, the hotplug_fw loader is unable to load the card at
boot-time, giving:

lspci sees the card, manually running hdsploader gives:
user@gonzo:/usr/local/src$ hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : PowerMac Screamer Rev 0
(not seeing the card)
i am fairly stuck here, any help would be appreciated!

Dear list,
this is a bit complicated, due to big/little endian issues, perhaps. I
am trying to load the firmware into my hdsp pcmcia card.
I am getting the fifo timeout:

Upload firmware for card hw:1
Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error.
I am using debian testing, running a 2.6.8 kernel with manually compiled
1.0.8 alsa drivers on a G3 powerpc laptop.
cardbus version is 11 (rev 0b)
the card is loadable out of osx.
i am stuck here, and don't know what to do now.
any suggestions are very welcome!
thanks,
Peter
Hi Peter,
From 1.0.8 on, the new method for uploading the firmare is through hotplug
and the kernel generic firmware loading mechanism (if compiled in). You
shouldn't have to use hdsploader anymore. Anyway you should definitely use
CVS or the 1.0.9 RCs, as there were significant problems with the hdsp
driver in 1.0.8 that have been fixed since then (firmware loading,
endianness issues, metering).
