I checked Debian Linux kernel 2.6.26-1-686 and dvgrab works fine
on /dev/raw1394.
The file "config-2.6.26-1-686" says:
--------8<----------------------------------------8<----------------
#
# Enable only one of the two stacks, unless you know what you are doing
#
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE is not set
CONFIG_IEEE1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2=m
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA is not set
CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394_ROM_ENTRY=y
CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394=m
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is not set

It seems the Kernel Maintainers had reenabled the old FW stack, right?
The kernel package changelog didn't say anything about that.
Could you please give a status update on this topic and give me an idea
how it would be handled further?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Erik
