Firewire support


Recommended Posts

If you have the manuals for 9.0, look in the installation section to see if firewire is discussed. If you don't have the manuals get them here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fdoc.php3 . You could also pour over the kernel mailing list to see if it is discussed there. Find it here: http://www.mail-archive.com/cooker%40linux...x-mandrake.com/ . It starts with today's postings and works back.

I'm not sure if this is what you are after but in Xconfig there is the option for Raw1394.

I'm only new to this so you will probably want to check this but I think it will need a newly compiled Kernel.

 

I do know that my firewire card has not been recognised so was going to try this myself.

Yes it is supported:

 

Raw IEEE 1394 I/O support

CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO

 Say Y here if you want support for the raw device. This is generally

 a good idea, so you should say Y here. The raw device enables

 direct communication of user programs with the IEEE 1394 bus and

 thus with the attached peripherals.



 If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be

 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),

 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.  The module

 will be called raw1394.o.

 

You might want to see if you have that module available by doing:

~# modinfo raw1394                  

filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.19-32mdk/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.o.gz

description: <none>

author:      <none>

license:     "GPL"

~#

 

To add support for your Firewire, run:

~# modprobe  raw1394

 

if it works, and if you want that support permantly, then edit your /etc/modules.conf
