Apparently the latest version of midisport-firmware does NOT work with Fedora 15. Here's my situation: [root@pinhead ~]# uname -a Linux pinhead.malexmedia.net 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 20:01:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@pinhead ~]# lsusb | grep -i 763 Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0763:1002 Midiman MidiSport 2x2 [root@pinhead ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i midisport-firmware midisport-firmware-1.2-7.fc15.noarch I don't understand exactly what's going on, but the problem is definitely in this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules Here's the broken rule from the current RPM: ----------SNIP---------- # MidiSport 2x2 ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DEVPATH=="/*.0", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/1001/*", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /lib/firmware/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /lib/firmware/MidiSport2x2.ihx" ----------SNIP---------- In looking around for a solution I found an ubuntu forum thread ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96506 ) and from that thread constructed a different WORKING rule. Here's the WORKING rule which I placed in 42-midisport-firmware.rules: ----------SNIP---------- # MidiSport 2x2 ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0763", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /lib/firmware/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /lib/firmware/MidiSport2x2.ihx -D %N" ----------SNIP---------- I don't think it's related to the fxload command syntax because I did try using -D %N on the original rule before completely replacing it with the one from the ubuntu forum thread. So maybe it has something to do with how the device is being matched by udev?? :-\ Would anybody mind explaining this better to me? And can we get a patched RPM so this works ootb for everybody? Thanks!
Is this package orphaned?? If so, what does that mean? :(

I'm having this problem with Fedora 14, is the fixed version of the firmware file available for it? I have a Midiman Midisport 4x4 that worked fine on older versions of Fedora but after upgrading to Fedora 14, the firmware doesn't load anymore. Will the F15 midisport firmware work on F14 or do I need to wait for an F14 specific fix?
