I recommend to update ALSA driver, at least. Though, I cannot
guarantee that it works with that kernel :)
OK, I will try to lay may hands on a newer kernel and a newer ALSA.
But could you please explain, or point me to documentation on, how
hotplug and pcmcia-cs works together?
As far as I know, 2.6 kernels use the hotplug system. Does this
hotplug system work together with with pcmcia-cs and the cardmgr
program? Or do they conflict? Or are they alternative solutions to
each other?
With the recent 2.6 kernels, you need no longer cardmgr. The whole
thing is integrated to hotplug properly.

In addition to what I have done before (see below), I
have now created a
/etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf according to the description at the bottom of
the alsa-project page for the vxpocket card. And I have added the
necessary lines to /etc/modutils/alsa-base, and run update-modules.
IIRC these require firmware, is alsa-firmware installed?
Any chance you can try a recent distro? Kernel 2.6.12 is a year old... And especially, how does the hotplug system identify
the vxpocket card?
And, is the /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf still needed/used?
No. The driver has a proper entry, and calls request_firmware() to
load the firmware binary files by itself.
