So, is this is a big no on the firewire support?

# wc -l /lib/modules/*/modules.ieee1394map
 1 /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.1.el5/modules.ieee1394map
 1 /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/modules.ieee1394map
 2 total

It would have been nice to mention it in the Release Notes:

# egrep -i '(1394|firewire)' RELEASE-NOTES-en

Or maybe there is just something I don't know about how
to use it in RHEL5 since libraw1394 is included (my
reference is FC6, where there are a bunch of kmods in
kernel/drivers/ieee1394).

I don't remember hearing anything definite on these lists,
but our reseller (dlt.com) did send a marketing message
claiming better support for "USB and Firewire devices."

I did find this Bugzilla about a conflict between the names
of the firewire "raw1394" and the 1,394th raw device:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233956
I guess systems with thousands of raw devices are more
important than all the firewire hardware out there. :)
