    No, it's not a bug but thank you for this tip. It's just a put-on limitation
    in the driver itself:

    --- starfire.c~ Fri Apr 20 18:48:05 2001
    +++ starfire.c Fri Apr 20 18:27:20 2001
    @@ -308,7 +308,7 @@
    void (*resume)(struct pci_dev *dev); /* Device woken up */
    };

    -#define PCI_MAX_MAPPINGS 16
    +#define PCI_MAX_MAPPINGS 32
    static struct pci_driver_mapping drvmap [PCI_MAX_MAPPINGS] = { { NULL, } , };

    #define __devinit __init
    This cures my problem. I've checked this and it seems as if Ion copied
    this from the sound/emu10k1/emu_wrapper.c code, where I understand that
    nobody will have more then 16 times the same soundcard. Ion, do I break
    something with this? If not, could you please adjust your driver?

    Thanks to all of you for your help. I learned a lot today.
    Roberto Nibali, ratz
