[Nottingham] Firewire problems

[Darren Fuller]

Hi all,

I'm having some problems with Firewire on my PC, or more specifically 
connecting to my JVC camcorder (6pin to 4pin).  I bought an E-buyer PCI 
firewire card a few weeks ago which is supposedly OHCI compliant.  The 
chipset is an NEC uPD72874 which from looking at the Linux 1394 project 
is suppose to be supported.  If I run gscanbus I can see my card and get 
the info from it, if I connect my camcorder I can see an icon appear for 
it but if I click on the icon to get the info it just hangs, the same 
thing happens in Kino if I try getting to the preferences.  I'm running 
Fedora Core2 and I'm using the 2.6.8-1.521 Kernel.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm starting to tear my hair out with this.

Oh I also tried accessing it with the Dynebolic Live CD with the same 
results.

Thanks

Darren
