Comment 20 for bug 152392

this patch gives me the option to set the device to /dev/dv1394/0 but with the camera playback rolling, there is still no capture, even when run as root.

$ ls -l /dev/dv1394/0

is it possible that the Dell Inspiron's ieee1394 port is somehow non-standard and unsupported under Linux? it is odd that the device loads and everything seems fine, but there is just no data flowing. dmesg simply says

[ 28.348066] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[434fc0003bda4981]
[130759.413036] NOTE: The dv1394 driver is unsupported and may be removed in a future Linux release. Use raw1394 instead.

and lspci says
