If it is the classic stack of firewire drivers that are required, and
there is nothing else needed from the centosplus kernel, a good
solution is to get the kABI-tracking firewire modules from ELRepo:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=kmod-ieee1394
It provides:
dv1394.ko
eth1394.ko
ieee1394.ko
ohci1394.ko
pcilynx.ko
raw1394.ko
sbp2.ko
video1394.ko
Because they survive kernel updates transparently and you can run the
distro kernel, there will be no "waiting" for each kernel update.
