since upgrading from Suse 9.3 to Suse 10.0 my Maudio Firmawareloader "madfuload" stopped working - due to really limited skills I had no chance to find the reason why, so I applied the madfuload command manually in recent years. Yesterday I occasionally discovered this one on the internet: http://www.diyaudio.com/wiki/index.php?page=LINUX+Audio+MAudioTransit I applied the recommended changes to the /etc/udev/rules.d/42-madfuload.rules and the file looks like this now: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # madfuload.rules - udev rules for loading firmware into M-Audio DFU devices # Audiophile ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/2803/*", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -n -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma003101.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" # MobilePre ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/2804/*", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma004103.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" # Sonica ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/2805/*", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -n -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma005101.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" # Transit ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/2806/*", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma006100.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" # Ozone ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/2808/*", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma008100.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" # vim: ft=conf -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- with this modified udev rules my firmwareloader works automatically again in my openSuse 11.0 . I thought it might be a good idea to communicate this here in the list, maybe it's of help for anybody. best Susanne -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
