Hello,
I am trying to connect a unibrain firewire camera to my T40 thinkpad
using a PCMCIA firecard. I am running debian testing and kernel 2.6.15.
The card is detected and the output of dmeg follows but the camera
doesn't even turn on and nothing happens when I connect it to the card!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ali

I looked at http://www.linux1394.org/. Their "compatibility list" puts
the Fire-i digital camera and the Fire-i400 both in the "Works Great"
class. Both use ohci1394, which your dmesg output below says you are
loading.
The Unibrain page on "detailed product specs" mentions the possibility
of the camera needing a separate DC input to work. It says:
"Fire-i™ Digital Camera is provided with a DC power input jack
connector, that can be used when the FireWire connection does not
provide DC power. This happens typically:
"* when the FireWire bus is converted to a 4-pin connection
"* when, in 6-pin, no powering device is present, even from the
FireWire interface. This is the case when using CardBus FireWire
adapters or on some laptops with built-in interface"
The "doesn't even turn on" part of your message makes me suspect that
you have this power problem ... not a Linux problem as such but a
hardware problem. Only a guess, though.
If that's it, there is info on using DC adapters at
