Therefore, firewire support is not included/enabled in EL5.
And also if you look in /boot/config-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 you will find...
# IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
# CONFIG_IEEE1394 is not set
The current firewire stack was evaluated by engineering, and the basic
conclusion was "no way do we want to have to support this ugly mess".
Note that for Fedora 7, we've started writing an entirely new firewire
stack[1]. The intention is that once that stack has been battle-tested a
bit, we'll port it to RHEL5. Initial hope was to have it ready for 5.1,
but I'm inclined to think it'll be more like 5.2.
