Just a note for readers of lkml: git-ieee1394.patch is steadily growing thanks to Kristian Høgsberg's work on his new alternative FireWire drivers. Recently Kristian posted preliminary patches to the popular low-level FireWire libraries libraw1394 and libdc1394, making them interoperable with his newly designed kernel--userspace ABI. (Mainline Linux' IEEE 1394 subsystem features a slightly unfortunate variety of userspace ABIs, some of them abstracted by the mentioned libraries, some directly used.) I heard Kristian also already worked on integration with HAL, i.e. there are now more and more pieces of the puzzle coming together. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== --== =-=-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
