Well how i understand it is: That the newer drivers (1.0.2 and later) don't use any firmware anymore. I asume that you are using those for Musix? But i'm not sure what Johannes is using... Lets wait for his reply... maybe i'm wrong. Mano. On 6/19/06, Marcos Guglielmetti <[email protected]> wrote:

Hello Marcos and Johannes,
I found this: Starting from 1.0.2 the driver sources do not contain the firmware files anymore.
on this webpage: http://www.webalice.it/g_pochini/ead/
Could that explain the confusion?
Yes, but we have some alsa-firmware-loaders:

Dear Marcos,
Thanks for releasing 0.49! I gave it a second try with this version to get my Gina20 card running.
It looks as if I would get a little closer, but not close enough :-(
snd-gina20 is being loaded but during startup an error message occurs, saying that the firmware can not be found. These are the messages printed in /var/log/dmesg:
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.4 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0e.0 ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/pci/echoaudio/echoaudio.c:45: get_firmware(): Firmware not available (-2) Echoaudio Gina20: probe of 0000:00:0e.0 failed with error -2 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.2 (Mar 22, 2004)
The directories /lib/firmware and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware are both empty, should they be? What can I do? Do I have to download ALSA sources and compile by myself?
Thanks for your help!
Now I am in a doubt: they are free software or not?
Could you find this on google?
