Quoting http://linux1394.sourceforge.net : If you have 1394 hardware you can now access it under Linux. The supported chipsets are Texas Instruments PCILynx/PCILynx2 and OHCI compliant chips (produced by various companies). Not supported are the proprietary Sony chipset found in various Vaio systems or the Adaptec AIC-5800. Work has been done toward support for the Adaptec chip-based cards, but few have successfully used it. Please note as well that not all Sony VAIO systems use the proprietary chip. Some contain the CXD3222, which is reported to be OHCI compliant. > Arie Folger > > ####### Excerpt of lspci -v ########### > 00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 > Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 80ad > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 9 > Memory at 10000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] > Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=05, sec-latency=176 > Memory window 0: 10400000-107ff000 (prefetchable) > Memory window 1: 10800000-10bff000 > I/O window 0: 00004000-000040ff > I/O window 1: 00004400-000044ff > 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 > > 00:0a.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 > Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 80ad > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 9 > Memory at 10001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] > Bus: primary=00, secondary=06, subordinate=09, sec-latency=176 > Memory window 0: 10c00000-10fff000 (prefetchable) > Memory window 1: 11000000-113ff000 > I/O window 0: 00004800-000048ff > I/O window 1: 00004c00-00004cff > 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 > > <snip> > 00:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments: Unknown device 8020 (prog-if > 10 [OHCI]) > Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 80ac > Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9 > Memory at fb006000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] > Memory at fb000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] > Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 1 > ############# end of output of lspci -v ############# > > Arie Folger > -- Shaul Karl email: shaulka(replace with the at - @ - character)bezeqint.net ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
