Hi Thomas!
Thanks for your reply!
I have now tested alsa-drivers-1.0.9rc1 with hotplug support in the

kernel, but without success. When i boot into OSX, load the firmware

there, and do a warm-reboot into debian, the card works, even

reinserting and putting the computer into sleep mode doesn't stop the

card from working.

But after a coldboot into debian, the card remains uninitialized, giving

the same error as described below.
I am fairly stuck here.
Thanks for _any_ help.
