Package: libraw1394-11
Version: 2.0.5-2
Severity: normal

Trying to capture a video with kino, I had to realize that my DV
camera is no longer recognized.

In /usr/share/doc/libraw1394-11/README.Debian, I read:

  Before all, you must verify if your actual linux kernel is built
  with ieee1394 and raw1394 support. Generaly, if you use a debian
  linux kernel package, it is the case
  
Unfortunately no longer...

                           but you can know that with this command:
        grep IEEE1394 /boot/config-`uname -r`

   If theses modules are in you kernel, you may see theses lines:
        CONFIG_IEEE1394=y
        CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m or CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=y
   When you have CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=y, you have to do nothing.
   If you have CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m, you must load the module.
   You can do that with this command (executed as the root user):
        modprobe raw1394

However, I get "# CONFIG_IEEE1394 is not set" and with modprobe I get:

   FATAL: Module raw1394 not found.

Checking for the kernel module in Debian/testing kernels with
`apt-file find raw1394`, I see

...
linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64: 
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.ko
linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64: 
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.ko
linux-image-2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64: 
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.ko
linux-modules-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64: 
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-xen-amd64/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/raw1394.ko

so I assume the last kernel to ship with the module is 2.6.26.


Is there a replacement module that can be used with libraw1394?

Otherwise, the documentation of libraw1394 and all dependent packages
should warn the user that these programs are only usable with either a
rather old Debian kernel or a home-compiled one?
