Hotplug should load the firmware automatically. Yes, and it was doing so very well for my midisport device also. I think there's some confusion in this thread. Some of us are having a hard time when upgrading to versions of udev that supersede hotplug (i.e. there is no hotplug). I have solved that problem but it wasn't easy. I offer to help anyone with the same hurdle, and to help fix the usb-midi-fw.sf.net project too (see the existing bug report [1]). Others seem to be having unrelated problems on hotplug systems and are opting for the simpler shell script solution. When you get tired of running the shell script by hand, come back and we'll help you get it working with (udev|hotplug). But if you're happy with the ad-hoc solution, and would rather just get on with making music, well I can't argue with that. :) 1. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1353514&group_id=87777&atid=584353 -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it.
