missing /dev/raw1394, and related issues

[D M <sk...@gm...>]

Greetings,


I recently upgraded my PC, except for the old lovely Firewire adapter
I had for a long time.
As you can imagine, the reason why I`m writing is that I can`t seem to
get it working any more, with Juju, and a 3.4 kernel.

I`ve seen a number of forums discussing the same issue I have. Namely
the below one best describes my problems, except that I`m a Gentoo
user.

This thread has been opened in 2008, and people are still posting on
it. Is it possible for anyone to give some help fixing this?


Some dmessages I get (while manually and randomly adding and removing modules):

Really hope somebody over here can help, as I haven`t found any
solution on the forums around :(
