Same here, the CI part is useless with firedtv driver. I have
self-compiled VDR v1.7.7 running with xine-plugin on Debian
testing/unstable 2.6.29 x86_64, and there's no CAM menu available in
VDR's setup screen. Tested with older SCM Conax and now CAS7 capable NP4
Conax CAM, no success. Both CAMs work fine with Sony Bravia V3000, and
SCM card was working fine in a Technotrend T1500+CI (DVB-T) with VDR v1.4.7.

Updating firmware of my FloppyDTV C/CI (which can only be done on a
Windows box, great) didn't help anything either, but it seems to have
made things even worse. Now there's occasional errors like

Jun 15 21:40:04 silver kernel: firedtv 00128726020026b2-0: FCP response timed 
out

which didn't show up before firmware update. Now VDR recordings from FTA
channels fail sometimes too, and kernel log gets filled with 

DVB (dvb_dmxdev_filter_start): could not alloc feed
