yeah.. I can see from
tail -f /var/log/messages
that the USB is disconnected and then connected when removing and 
inserting the USB plug

If I need to load the firmware, should I follow this year-old method:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=USBMidiDevices
http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/

looking at the makefile, it looks like it installs the usermap files in 
/etc/hotplug/usb
and
the firmware into: /usr/share/usb/midisport

But, these are different from Fernando's locations below:

But, no matter where I copy the firmware files, I NOW get the same error 
when plugging in the 8x8MidiSport USB plug in /var/log/messages:

DISCONNECTING. Looks ok:
Mar 30 11:54:31 ives kernel: usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, address 12

CONNECTING gives the following error:
Mar 30 11:54:40 ives kernel: usb 2-1.1: new full speed USB device using 
uhci_hcd and address 13
Mar 30 11:54:40 ives kernel: ALSA
