That seems to be right. I could narrow down the problem a bit further
and would like to summerize it. I could reproduce the following with 2
different PCMCIA-to-Firewire adapters and with different LiveCDs
aswell:

Grabing video works fine with dvgrab (after removing eth1394). However:
kino as well as gscanbus do not detect the camera. gscanbus does not
even show the PCMCIA-firewire-card, when I plug it in (though it is in
lspci as posted previously). gscanbus only shows:

which seems to be the small builtin firewire connector of my laptop.

So it really seems to be a problem either with my sytem or with a
library. Any idea on further tracking down this bug and eventually
solving it (maybe compiling lib xxx for debug mode? If so, which one?)?

I am okay with dvgrab -- however I'd like to get "full" linux support
for this :)

regards,
Jens
