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

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 Apr 3 12:25:14 hector-laptop kernel: [ 273.952000] usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 3 12:25:14 hector-laptop NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1175617514.280637] nm_hal_device_added (): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_763_2806_noserial'). Apr 3 12:25:14 hector-laptop madfuload: cannot open /proc/bus/usb/001/002: No such file or directory Apr 3 12:25:14 hector-laptop NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1175617514.657287] nm_hal_device_added (): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_763_2806_noserial_if0'). Apr 3 12:25:14 hector-laptop NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1175617514.671133] nm_hal_device_added (): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_763_2806_noserial_usbraw'). 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 -- =============================== http://www.hcenteno.net
