As Fernando said, it works. I have a Midisport2x2, but I don't need the
Midiman's firmware, because my Midisport2x2 works very well with ezusbmidi
firmware by Lars Doelle, but this can be useful for 4x4 and 8x8 owners...
while there is not a better GPL solution.
BTW, the latest midisport GPL firmwares and sources are available at
linux-hotplug project CVS repository:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=17679
(modulename "firmware")
