All, I'm using a Midisport 2x2 with my Gentoo Linux x86 box. After booting (2.6.16 kernel, with or without realtime patch) my Midisport isn't recognized. However, after disconnecting and reconnecting it, it works fine - the firmware gets loaded, and I can start Jack and pass MIDI data through it. (I already got hold of the firmware file, set up the udev rule and all that jazz.) I've googled, but haven't found anything that helps. Any suggestions how to get the Midisport to start straight from boot? It's only a little niggle, but it would help getting things running a bit more smoothly. Peter C
