Prerequisites
--------------

- kernel headers for current kernel
- internet connection


Building the kernel module
---------------------------

Usually you should be able to simple type:
  $ make


Installing windows firmware
----------------------------

You also need the firmware for the card. To install it, visit
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/sixfireusb/files/tools

Download both files and follow the instructions in fwinst.txt


Using this module with kernel >= 2.6.39 and alsa >= 1.0.24
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since Kernel 2.6.39 (and alsa 1.0.24) the module is integrated. Changes (either from user requests or bug fixed) will first be available on the
sourceforge page. Until these changes are integrated into the kernel/alsa, it will last a while. To use the sourceforge module with the new kernel/alsa,
all modules that are installed from the kernel/alsa named "snd-usb-6fire.ko" need to be removed from the kernel module directory. To accomplish that, you can type:
  $ sudo make kremove

Afterwards a new make install is required.


Installing the kernel module
-----------------------------

To install the module in the kernel, type:
  $ sudo make install

The module will then be loaded automatically on startup or if the device is inserted.
