Mandrake 9.0 ... firewire1394

Has anyone gotten this to work "out of the box"?

 

The ieee1394 and ohci1394 modules are loaded (lsmod). Yet when I plug the DV camera (Cannon GL-1) neither module changes to the inuse state when turned on.I have tried rmmod and then modprobing them but there was no change in behavior.

 

This is a default install. That is I have not fiddled with anything after the install.

 

I am guessing that perhaps something in the kernel is missing but then the modules would not be installed. So perhaps it is something to do with devfs?

 

I'd like some input before tearing into things. TIA.

To my knowledge that is not necessary for a DV camera. At least I have not seen that mentioned on sites the talked about 1394.
