its not likely that your going to get any other responses to your mail. Its pretty much an english speaking mailing list but i can try to give you some suggestions ... have you checked if you firewire card is supported on the redhat HCL (Hardware Compatibility List)? If your card is not there, then its not officially supported by redhat. The best thing for you to do is to run a KNOPPIX cd on your machine (because it has auto-hardware detection a bit different to redhats) and try your luck at getting the card detected with that. If your card is detected under knoppix, you can find out which module(driver) is loaded and used, and then work on getting that same module loaded under redhat! good luck and if you repost - give it a try in english - even if your english is really bad, it will be read by more people than a french post ;)
