Did you get the firmware from elsewhere?
The vxpocket modules are in Alsa 0.9.1 onward. I downloaded the latest
stable ALSA files from one of the alsa mirrors and tried to follow the
instructions. I've also just realised that I was trying to follow the
instructions on for the VXpocket 440 when I have the VXpocket V2. The
ALSA Soundcard page only links to the 440 page - though it looks like
the instructions are the same. Have you already tried re-compiling the
kernel?

This was covered in a previous thread that ended with no resolution - we
tried everything. No luck.
I think the next step is to try it in another laptop with a different
chipset if possible - it could be an issue at the kernel PCMCIA layer.

I think I have mentioned it before, but if you, Lee, could find the time
to take a look at my laptop in Karlsruhe, I would be grateful.
Although Takashi reports that the card works, it does not seem that it
is easy to get working for those of us less skilled. Which is a pity,
and a situation that should be remedied. It is a good card, and in my
opinion probably one of the best solutions for portable audio.

I am not sure whether it is necessary. But if it is not much bother for
you to do it, it might be a good idea.

We solved this at LAC. I am 99% sure the fix was to enable
CONFIG_ISAPNP in the kernel config.
I think it's a bug in ALSA that the lack of this option causes it to
fail silently.

I tried with the then (about a month ago) most recent kernel and the
most recent ALSA, but did not get things to work. One of the remaining
possibilities is that there is something weird with my computer.
(I feel about the same as the time I spent a week trying to get my
computer screen to work at 1400x1050 (which it was sold as, and which
other computers of that type had), just to discover in the end that it
actually was a 1024x768.)
