I'm running 2.6.6-1.422 from updates/testing and FireWire is working for
me.  It works better than FC1; my DVD burner is seen by default (I had
to rescan the SCSI bus to get it under FC1).

The only thing I had to do was add "alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394"
to /etc/modprobe.conf.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
