Notice how a preliminary fix is expected for 2.6.25, which probably means

support (iow most digital video cameras).
That seems like a bold, and IMO, unsubstantiated claim. I managed to get
a Firewire camera to work using the new stack a couple weeks ago. I had a
bit of trouble, which lead me to discussions that came to the same general
conclusion that you outlined in your email, but then I tried chown'ing the
/dev/fw-* (or whatever) devices to my user, and things miraculously
worked.
This was on kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8; I hadn't gotten around to rebooting
that box in a while (nor have I tried the camera since rebooting to
2.6.23.9-85.fc8).
I won't deny, however, getting burned a time or three by Fedora's
early-adopter practices. :-)
