Plutek,
got it working -- under Windows, i re-installed the
driver, which
brought the multiface back online. after that, the firmware loads
successfully under linux, and all is well. i *cannot*, however,
hotplug the ExpressCard under linux -- the multiface status light
behaves as it should (blinks with the ExpressCard out, and goes dark
when the ExpressCard is re-inserted), but hdspmixer comes up with all
meters at full-scale, and the unit does not function.
Very strange. Send it over for debugging :)
I continued testing and found that neither MADIface nor the normal RME
ExpressCard are recognized in a Thinkpad X200 (Centrino 2). pciehp
always runs into the following:
[ 757.159762] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card present on Slot(3)
[ 757.183821] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card not present on Slot(3)
[ 757.188186] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card present on Slot(3)
[ 757.212205] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card not present on Slot(3)
etc. And a while after removing the card, the machine crashes with
colorful pixelart (never had that in a long time).
Same on the IdeaPad S10 (ICH7). With the Thinkpad r61 (Ricoh Chipset),
everything works as it should.
So I figure these problems rather come from a broken pciehp driver and
bad/missing chipset support than from the hdsp(m) driver itself.
