the third fedora release happens with juju firewire stack only.
drivers/firewire sees a steady progress. 2.6.26 will have nice
logging options for the juju modules.

humm let's sort those bug reports:
- fixed 441179 441206
- moreinfo 435224
(no follow up most probably fixed as really old version of the stack
tested)
- userspace 434551 436267
- missing driver 450836
- missing hardware support 435062
- crash of old stack 449272
please next time be more carefull compiling such lists,
at scrutiny survives 4 bugs.

relevant bugs of the old stack are (see bugzilla.kernel.org):
6070 6393 7569 7771 7774 7794 8174 8361 8403 9616
i wouldn't consider this list minor.
considering the slowness of the firewire userspace for example kino or
raw1394 our user should have the avaibility of the old stack.
so blacklisting ieee1394 sounds like a way to move on.
