Firewire isn't broken on Fedora, this is mythology. But actually only
newer firewire devices (or somehow some models) are supported by the
new juju stack...
there is sometime tweaks to do (specially for the /dev/fw-0 perms )
vi /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules.
and add
KERNEL=="fw*", OWNER="root" GROUP="firewire" MODE="0660"

Older models that want old firewire stack (which will be broken as
this is an unstable old stack ) can have a workaround with installing
an external kernel module package:

The one i've made is experimental and gives back the old firewire stack
seehttp://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/7/testing/ieee1394/ (eth1394.ko isn't
working safe to rm )
You will need the old userland libs also (probably libraw1394 and others...etc)
This is an experimental package, if you don't knwo how to backlist
modules and load raw1394.ko, don't use it...( if you knwo how to do,
please give me feedback about which modules to blacklist fro loading
into kernel)

There was an experimental repository that have userland tools rebuilt
for the old stack... I think it could be used, but it has also a
kernel which is not necessary...
