Kernel source => 2.6.5 . Compile the neccessary modules in the device
driver section.
Like this...
Device Drivers --->
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support (EXPERIMENTAL) --->
<M> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> OHCI-1394 support
<M> OHCI-1394 Video support
<M> SBP-2 support (Harddisks etc.)
[*] Enable Phys DMA support for SBP2 (Debug)
<M> Ethernet over 1394
<M> OHCI-DV I/O support
<M> Raw IEEE1394 I/O support
<M> IEC61883-1 Plug support
<M> IEC61883-6 (Audio transmission) support
Plugin to any distro, load the modules required and the device should work.
Now the original poster did'nt mention anything about the hardwire
devices. However,
FireWire Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 (iLink/IEEE1394) in acer laptop
known to work.
