Did you manage to do more tests? And/or get more information from dmesg
or /var/log/messages regarding the firmware load?
I just installed a 9652 + DigiFace on a test machine and while I had
some problems the firmware was loaded and eventually the card worked
fine. This is, regretfully, on fc3 so there may be problems that are
specific to fc2 then.
On the first try after a reboot the card, for some reason, does not come
up. I suspect a problem with udev... this is what I find in
/var/log/messages on that first try:
=====
eth0: VIA Networking Velocity Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
eth0: Ethernet Address: 00:50:8D:E9:46:F5

And then if I restart the alsa subsystem through the alsasound scripts I
get this:
=====

ALSA

PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:11.5 to 64
=====
And after that the card works fine.
I only tried twice.
I'll see if I can test on fc2...

Hi, Fernando,
Holy cow you're on top of things. Do you ever sleep?
In any case, I've rebooting into 2.6.10-2.1.ll.rhfc2.ccrma on the laptop
(cardbus/digiface) and the /var/log/messages showed the same as my
previous dmesg snippet.
FWIW, the error light on the digiface went out by the time the login
screen popped up, when before (the first time with 1.0.8) it went out
after logging in, presumably as part of the login.
On your cue, I restarted alsa (service alsasound restart ???) and got
the following in /var/log/messages:
====
Jan 26 06:46:07 localhost alsasound: sound driver stop succeeded
Jan 26 06:46:08 localhost alsasound: Starting sound driver snd-hdsp
succeeded
Jan 26 06:46:08 localhost alsasound: Starting sound driver snd-via82xx

Jan 26 06:46:08 localhost alsasound: Starting sequencer succeeded

failed to obtain info for control #1 (No such file or directory)
Jan 26 06:46:08 localhost alsasound: Restoring sound driver settings
failed
====
Hmmm. So, like all good little boys, I did it again, just for good
measure and:
====
Jan 26 06:49:37 localhost alsasound: sound driver stop succeeded

Hey! Lookie here!
If I'm to believe what I see, the firmware has perhaps been loaded all
along, just the card had not been initialized, whatever that means.
Oh crap, I just realized that I never powered down the digiface between
reboots. I suppose I should try that, too.
Anyway, Jack seems to be running happily after the second alsasound
restart. Haven't checked hdspmixer, hdspconf, or tried sound through it
yet, however. That remains to be a pain with the laptop, largely due to
my crappy Ene cardbus controller's memory handling which I have to
manually manipulate (if you're reading this, Ico, I never did thank you
for the fix. Thanks!).
I will now (or at least later today) try all this again with 1) reycling
the digiface's power 2) fully testing with sound 3) with the desktop
(pci/digiface) and 4) with the other various kernels.
Whew.
Thanks again,
Michael
