What distribution are you runing KDE on? Your problem is to get *THAT* distribution to see you card. If you are running KDE on Fc3, then if FC3 finds your card it will be usable under KDE, or rather, the peripherals on the firewire will be usable. I use firewire harddisks and video camera on Mepis Linux and SuSE 9.2, as well as Yellow Dog Linux on an Apple PowerBook - and all that using KDE as the Interface.
