Which probably means it won't make it to FC2 final. I plan on
offering some work-arounds for Firewire users, sort of like I did for
FC1. My plan is to take the Firewire code that shipped with kernel
2.6.3, since that has worked quite reliably for me.
For what it's worth, I was able to build and load the firewire modules
against 2.6.5-1.347. I used the latest ieee1394 branch from subversion
using the attached Makefile. I have not actually tested connecting any
firewire devices but my experience with other recent kernels was that
loading ohci1394 spewed out a bunch of stack dumps.
