Can someone enlighten me how the ports on firewire card function?
I have only one device that is using firewire (DV Camera) so I can test
only on single port.

I installed the ieee1394 card, it has two 6-pin ports and one 4-pin
port.
I have connected the Digital Camera to one of the 6-pin ports and I
couldn't make it to work with "kino", but I tryed the second port and it
worked.

I was under impression that ieee1394 cards would work the same as
USB-ports; regardless which port I plug my device into it will just
work, not so with ieee1394 cards.

How do I control (if at all) which port I need to plug the device into
and how are they numbered? 
I have "coldplug" installed, so I think the ports are initialized
automatically and the second port will not be initialized unless
something is plugged into port number "0" (first one), am I correct?  In
other words, Is there a special order I need to plug the devices into
ieee1394 card?

In "kino" under settings there is IEEE1394 "tab" and has an option
"raw1394 interface" option that is set to "0" I've tried setting it to
"1" but it didn't work.
