confirmed, this is a regression

RAW1394 seems to be deprecated, but the new firewire driver firewire-ohci does not support older hardware.

Bug #779680 suggests linking /dev/fw0 to /dev/raw1394 , but I guess this only works if the camera is recognized by new firewire-ohci driver? At least I do not get any fw* nodes created, nor anything in the kernel logs

seems I have to fireup an old ubuntu version to get the video of the camera.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am using oneiric 64bits, and encourtered the same problem when i installed a firewire extension card into my computuer.
I have an old PC 32bits with oneiric on, and no such problem on !

[ochatard (olivier-chatard)]

Sorry, I said oneiric instead of precise.
I have precise on both computer : the 32bits one and the 64bits one.
It seems raw1394 works fine on the 32bits, and does not exists on the 64bits ...
