Bug#530402: linux-2.6: please enable raw1394 in kernel configuration

[Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs <friedel@taupan.ath.cx>]

Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist


ffado is part of debian now, and it needs the raw1394 driver which is not enabled in the packaged kernel.

I'm aware that this is incompatible with the new 1394 stack, so it's probably not feasible to close this wishlist item until raw1394 (or equivalent) functionality has been added to the new 1394 stack. (I was referred to http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-user&m=124317160225485 elsewhere.)

Still, it would be neat if debian could provide out-of-the box support for firewire audio devices :-}
