Though, I cannot > guarantee that it works with that kernel :) OK, I will try to lay may hands on a newer kernel and a newer ALSA. But could you please explain, or point me to documentation on, how hotplug and pcmcia-cs works together? As far as I know, 2.6 kernels use the hotplug system. Does this hotplug system work together with with pcmcia-cs and the cardmgr program? Or do they conflict? Or are they alternative solutions to each other? And especially, how does the hotplug system identify the vxpocket card? And, is the /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf still needed/used? With kind regards Asbjørn
