Hi,

There is a problem with firewire (/dev/raw1394 ) in debian - when udev
package is installed device file /dev/raw1394 simply doesn't exist, while
all needed modules are loaded. I searched google about this and found,
that this problem is because the raw1394 and video1394 device drivers are
not exporting a dev file in sysfs so udev won't make a /dev file for them.
( look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=133798 )

Mandrake linux developers solved this problem simply by adding a line

M raw1394       c 171 0

to the end of /etc/udev/links.conf

(see file udev-links.conf.bz2 in any mandrake udev src.rpm package, newer
than 050, for example udev-054-2mdk.src.rpm )

Please, fix this bug in debian package also, because now Debian Sarge
and Sid users can't work with with firewire devices, for example can't
capture movies from digital video cameras :(
