Firewire handling changed after about 2.6.25 kernels. If you have a newer
kernel with experimental firwewire stack you will have to do some googling.
With my self-compiled 2.6.29 kernel I set up menu config as follows
Device Drivers --->
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support --->
< > New FireWire stack, EXPERIMENTAL
<M> Stable FireWire stack
<M> OHCI-1394 controllers
<M> PCILynx controller
<M> Storage devices (SBP-2 protocol)
[ ] Enable replacement for physical DMA in SBP2
<M> IP over 1394
<M> raw1394 userspace interface
<M> video1394 userspace interface
<M> dv1394 userspace interface (deprecated)
[ ] Excessive debugging output
In other words. experimental stack is disabled.
But maybe it works now, someone else may have better information.
