Andres,

How does your "/etc/modules.conf" looks like (you are running RHFC1) ? 

The ALSA matrix talks about "snd-mia" and snd-mona for Echo cards,
although I am not so sure which one you should use because I don't see
these cards on the standard alsa-drivers rpm from planetccrma. If you
are downloading the drivers separately, you might need to re-compile
ALSA drivers package from source and then try,

modprobe snd-mona

If you don't get any messages you can also try

cat /proc/asound/devices to see if your mona card is shown on the list.
Then restart ALSA to see if things run smoothly.


Furthermore, you can also test to "hotplug" your pcmcia card but make
sure you have an additional terminal shell open with the command

tail -f /var/log/messages

to see if Yenta and the pcmcia stuff are working properly. You should
also see if your motorola soundcard is binding to ALSA.


I hope these can be helpful and are not so bad news.
