According to http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration as of kernel 2.6.26 it is possible to build both stacks as modules provided one is properly blacklisted. Version 2 of libraw1394 would also be required to actually use the new stack.
This config would allow those inclined to test the new stack without compiling a custom kernel. I think v2 of libraw1394 could be installed parallel to v1 without impact. >From the above page: "Regarding Linux 2.6.26, the best advice to Linux distributors (kernel packagers) as well as to regular users is: Build only the old IEEE 1394 drivers. — Alternatively, build both stacks as modules but make sure that only one of them (the one you want) is being loaded. I.e. create proper blacklist entries in /etc/modprobe.conf; see below. Also, you need to upgrade your userland to libraw1394 v2 if you want to switch to the new drivers (or freely between old and new drivers)." -- Enable new Firewire stack in default kernel config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
