Jason Bell has done some doco for setting up the firewire support on 
Fedora 7 & 8 here:

You might want to confirm that the raw1394 driver has been setup 
correctly with /usr/bin/testlibraw and check that you are receiving DV 
isochronous channel packets by running /usr/bin/dumpiso (both of these 
commands come with the libraw1394 RPM). If you are seeing lots of 
gibberish output with dumpiso, then it is working.


Cheers,
