I'm still trying to get my multiface+cardbus recognized.
At the moment it makes no difference if the
card is in the slot or not when I modprobe snd-hdsp
Now I'll just suppose that I patched the driver right
and the problem is with my pcmcia setup.
I've never used any pcmcia devices so this is quite possible.
I have a hp xe4100 laptop
with a pcmcia slot that takes one card
of any type (I, II, III) at a time.

What does a working kernel configuration look like?
Here's some of mine that I thought might matter:
CONFIG_PCI=y
# CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_GODIRECT is not set
CONFIG_PCI_GOANY=y
CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y
CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y
CONFIG_PCI_NAMES=y
# CONFIG_EISA is not set
# CONFIG_MCA is not set
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA=m
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
# CONFIG_TCIC is not set
# CONFIG_I82092 is not set
# CONFIG_I82365 is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI is not set
____
I have pcmcia-cs installed with rhl8.0
(rpm's called kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9)
but I have no idea what to do with it.
Should I?
____
Here's some more info:
# cat /proc/pci
[...]
Bus 0, device 10, function 0:
CardBus bridge: PCI device 1217:6972 (O2 Micro, Inc.) (rev 0).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=168. Min Gnt=128.Max Lat=5.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x10000000 [0x10000fff].
[...]
# /sbin/cardctl status
Socket 0:
no card
(no matter what)
I don't even know what info you people would need
to be able to help so I'm just dumping this stuff.
Please ask me if you need something specific.
All and any help is greatly appreciated, as always.

Try this. Pop out the card, start a terminal window, do "tail -f
/var/log/(syslog for Debian boxes, or messages for redhat based systems)
What do you see? Do the CS services say that it found a card? Does it
recognize it?
Also quadruple check your firewire cable between the Multiface box and
the pcmcia card. My digi face will exhbit the same behaviour
when I forget to plug the cable in.

I see nothing. I can pull and push the card as I like
and... nothing.

While at it, I took a look at the kernel startup (selected messages):
Mar 25 08:56:43 kiertotahti pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA services:

Seems to me that something is starting up with a bit of coughing.
(RME cardbus was inserted while these were generated.
Don't know if there's a difference)

Also, I don't know if it matters, but my kernel (2.4.19) is lowlat patched
and has acpi (no patches) compiled in.
Also quadruple check your firewire cable between the Multiface box and
the pcmcia card. My digi face will exhbit the same behaviour
when I forget to plug the cable in.
Cable seems allright by eye.

Seems to me you might be having some problems with the pcmcia functions.
The machine
should show something in the logs when the card is poped in or out.
Untill that works Alsa can
not talk to the card.

Thanks. I installed latest pcmcia-cs and got
rid of startup errors but still the same thing,
no messages on card insert or remove.
Any idea how I'll get pcmcia working? :-)

Do you have any other cards you can try? Otherwise I would see the
pcmcia site, maybe check on the mailing list. The developers seems
fairly resonsive.
