[parisc-linux] IEEE1394 (Firewire iLink) - any ideas to build modules

[j.steindlberger]

Hi,

did anyone succeed in building modules for an OHCI1394 card? I think the 
problem is a general leck in DMA support. As I'm not a kernel specialist I 
don't have any idea.
When trying to build a module there are dependency problems. When trying to 
build into the kernel there are missing some functions for DMA - I think.

Regards
Joerg

what config did you use, and what errors did you see?

i'm not sure what you mean by "a general lack in DMA support"... DMA
works quite well :)
