Bug#441179: linux-image-2.6.22-2-k7: new firewire drivers not yet stable
Package: linux-image-2.6.22-2-k7
Version: 2.6.22-4
Severity: normal
The new firewire drivers (e.g., firewire_sbp2) aren't yet stable and are
known (upstream) not to work on some systems. It would be nice if the
debian kernels still built the older ieee1394 drivers until the newer
ones are a complete replacement (even if the system defaults to using
the new ones). With the current configuration, my firewire disks are
completely unusable with the latest debian kernels.
