Hi, the juju stack has caused some grief in F7, especially the disabling of the old stack, which technically wasn't neceessary. The intentions are noble, but the new stack just isn't ready for production yet, as many applications can't use it directly or indirectly (for example applications using the libdc v1 API like ffmpeg and thus any ffmpeg based project, the libraw api isn't fully functional either).
ATrpms has been shipping lib*1394 packages supporting the "old" stack under F7 for a while now. That fixed some userland pain, but a missing bit was the kernel support - especially when connecting fw capture devices (these reports came mainly from the mythtv camp). Upon requests there is now a ieee1394 kmdl project for F7, too (previously there was only for RHEL5 which had no firewire support at all). The ieee1394 code is still part of the kernel, but F7 disabled it. If you want the usual firewire support as found in previous Fedora Core releases or the current vanilla upstream kernels, all you need to do is point to ATrpms and <your depsolver here> install ieee1394 ieee1394-kmdl-`uname -r` You will also have to blacklist the juju kernel modules like cat > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire << EOF blacklist firewire_core blacklist firewire_ohci EOF But note that there are good reasons to move to juju. If your setup already works with juju, don't look back. If it doesn't, until averything is in place the ieee1394 kmdls will give some relief.
