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
