[linux-audio-user] a PDAudioCF problem

Greetings:

  I've switched my laptop back to Planet C's RH9 and its 2.4.26 kernel.
The machine is much happier now.

  However, a problem has come up that did not exist on a former
identical installation: My PDAudioCF card is not recognized when I 'cat
/proc/asound/cards'. lsmod shows this report:

[dlphilp@email-addr-hidden dlphilp]$ lsmod |grep pdaudio
snd-pdaudiocf 10980 0 (unused)
snd-ak4117 7196 0 [snd-pdaudiocf]
snd-pcm 85952 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pdaudiocf snd-ak4117
snd-usb-audio snd-cs4231-lib]
snd 48708 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss
snd-seq-dummy snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-opl3-synth snd-seq-instr
snd-pdaudiocf snd-ak4117 snd-usb-audio snd-virmidi snd-seq-virmidi
snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-cs4232 snd-opl3-lib snd-hwdep
snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-cs4231-lib snd-pcm snd-timer]
ds 8776 2 [snd-pdaudiocf serial_cs pcnet_cs]
pcmcia_core 57504 0 [snd-pdaudiocf serial_cs pcnet_cs ds
yenta_socket]

  But catting proc shows only:

[dlphilp@email-addr-hidden dlphilp]$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CS4231 ]: CS4231 - CS4231
                     CS4231 at 0x534, irq 5, dma 1&0
1 [VirMIDI ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI
                     Virtual MIDI Card 1
2 [M2x2 ]: USB-Audio - Midisport 2x2
                     Midiman Midisport 2x2 at usb-00:07.2-1.2, full speed

  I added these lines to /etc/modules.conf :

alias snd-card-3 snd-pdaudiocf
alias sound-slot-3 snd-pdaudiocf

  I also tried manually loading snd-pdaudiocf, it seemed to work all
right and reported no error. Nevertheless, no PDAudioCF card appears in
/proc/asound. The card's little blue light is on, indicating that the
card is recognized by the PCMCIA system, but something else is wrong
somewhere. Any suggestions ?

Best,
