Adding that for both kernels 2.6.17 and 2.6.19 generic, there are no firmware loaders happening for Echo Gina3G's either.
My temp solution has been to compile alsa-firmware loaders from source but this really should be happening with packages.
Would be great if the alsa-firmware loaders included everything and not just a subset which the current deb packages seem to do.
Also, it would be great for when this is fixed, there to be properly automated .asoundrc config files for allowing proper functionality of multi-channel audio cards.
Not being picky but audio in Ubuntu seems to have been forgotton about and it is such an integral part of one's desktop experience.

mikki@mikki-
Stuff like this should be recognised and configured to be utilised out of the base install. It would be greatly appreciated.
