Hi,
I have an external HD with a USB2/Firewire case. When i connect it, the USB2 works fine (as it always did), but i've never used firewire on this laptop before. And so i ask,
What modules do i need to enable in order to connect to my drive through firewire? And would they need to be built in , or modules?
Nothing apeared in dmesg when i connected the drive, but i fiddled around the kernel (ck-sources 2.6.15-ck5), and enabled the following,
Device Drivers --> IEEE 1394 support (y)
Device Drivers --> IEEE 1394 support --> OHCI-1394 support (m) (that's my chipset)
I'm not sure if that's all i need, or if that's the correct one, but after recompiling, i see the following
Code:

After pluggging it in and out twice...
Is there anything i'm missing? Thanks.
my chipset is as follows
