Subject: [SLE] Firewire on SuSE 8.1
Dear SuSE'ers
I have some new FireWire devices and I need your advice on using them on
SuSE
8.1 My sys is running stable now for months so I would like to add a 2 port
FireWire card. I'm looking for others who have done this who will share
their
experiances.
I've been able to determine that the process is similar to adding USB
support;
and that the devices are handled by the Hotplug system, but first the
Firewire modules have to be added to the kernel or module.conf.
Another option is to wait till I upgrade to 8.2 Opinions?
Any one out there with good news, bad news, or gotchas that I should know
about?
Thanks to ALL ....................... PeterB
*************************
I have an unbranded firewire card which worked well under 8.1 but under 8.2,
the attached devices are not detected. See my earlier post.
