I am still stuck, though. The vxloader does not find the card. =20
And neither does alsaconf.

The insertion of the card is reported in the logs, so the system is at=20

(Output from a verbose module loading is shown at the bottom.)
I would have thought that as the module is loaded, the card is found and
set up, and after uploading of firmware it should be ready for use.
Can the module load without error messages if it does not find the card?
And if the module finds the card, why doesn't the firmware loader?
What do I do now?

If the snd-vxpocket module is removed, and loaded again with the
"verbose" parameter to modprobe, this (below) is the output. Does the
"ignore-install" have any significance with respect to the current=20

I missed the beginnings of this thread ...
There are archives available. See also the alsa-user archives.
Is the issue with a digigram
vxpocket? what specific model (if there are more than one ...) ?
Yes. It is a Digigram VXpocket V2.
I know RFA has a number of digigram cards around, none
of which are
currently in use. I'm pretty sure one is a vxsomething-or-other. I'm not
a developer anywhere near the level of Lee's accomplishment, but I've
done a good bit of code debugging, including a little driver work. I'll
try to find the cards once I get into the office today. Let me know what
card we're talking about here. If it matches up, I'll see what I can do
to help.
Wonderful!
You can follow the lastest developments in the alsa-devel list. (I'll
copy in my latest post there below.)
Summary so far: I have the most recent kernel (2.6.16) and the most
recent ALSA (1.0.11rc4), but have still not got the card to work.

I guess you didn't enable CONFIG_ISA (PC-card requires it) or proper
PCMCIA kernel configs.=20
