That's because it wasn't being powered up properly. The patch I just
posted to current-users should (hopefully) solve this; you will see a
message like this if it's not working:

  auich1: error setting modem controls (val=0xf200, status=0xff00)

status=0xff00 means "everything is shut off", which is the problem I'm
having with my Conexant codec -- I can't get the darn thing to power-up!

Cheers,
Jared
