As noted by Guus Sliepen, switching from a functioning driver to an experimental driver with no library support is not going to cause the latter to be improved. It's simply annoying to the user. The linux1394.org people say: At the time of this writing (12/2007), there are still multiple problems with the new FireWire kernel driver stack (alias Juju) compared to the old stack [...] Regarding Linux 2.6.22 and 2.6.23, the best advice to Linux distributors (kernel packagers) as well as to regular users is: Build only the old IEEE 1394 drivers. http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration Please consider enabling the working driver until userspace libraries exist for the new one.
