Hi, I'm trying to get video off my DV camcorder and eventually discovered that the kernel switched from the old IEEE 1394 stack to the new one.
The Linux1394 folks explicity state: Regarding Linux 2.6.22 and 2.6.23, the best advice to Linux distributors (kernel packagers) as well as to regular users is: Build only the old IEEE 1394 drivers. [http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration] I appreciate that there is said to be some security issue (perhaps http://securityvulns.com/docs6383.html?) but a local DOS doesn't bother me nearly as much as an unusable firewire port. Please reconsider building the old stack until the new stack is no longer experimental and the userspace catches up. Thanks, -Steve
