Wow! Thank you!!
I just tested a build of it on top of 1.0.8 and it loaded the firmware
on the first try with hotplug, no problems so far in simple tests (9652
+ Digiface on top of Fedora Core 3). 

Takashi-san: sorry, I did not try your smaller patch, I went with what

Planet CCRMA dwellers... packages coming up soon :-)
Beautiful!
