Yes, you can, at least in kernel 2.6.

It works in kernel 2.6.2. If you want to use a newer kernel, you have to
move the drivers/ieee1394/ directory from kernel 2.6.2 to kernel 2.6.x.
However, the 2.6.2 ieee1394 branch won't compile with newer 2.6 kernels,
to make it work you have to change ieee1394_types.h:

Replace the following line
           CLEAR_BITMAP((_tp)->pool, 64); \
with this one
    memset((_tp)->pool, 0, BITS_TO_LONGS(64)*sizeof(unsigned long)); \

Then SBP2 will compile. The other modules however probably still won't. If
you need ieee1394 camera or other support as well, you probably have no
other choice than to use kernel 2.6.2.
