Firewire camera and PCMCIA card under Debian

Hello,
I am trying to connect a unibrain firewire camera to my T40 thinkpad
using a PCMCIA firecard. I am running debian testing and kernel 2.6.15.
The card is detected and the output of dmeg follows but the camera
doesn't even turn on and nothing happens when I connect it to the card!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ali

Ali --

I looked at http://www.linux1394.org/. Their "compatibility list" puts=20
the Fire-i digital camera and the Fire-i400 both in the "Works Great"=20
class. Both use ohci1394, which your dmesg output below says you are=20
loading.

The Unibrain page on "detailed product specs" mentions the possibility=20
of the camera needing a separate DC input to work. It says:

"Fire-i=99 Digital Camera is provided with a DC power input jack=20
connector, that can be used when the FireWire connection does not=20
provide DC power. This happens typically:

"* when the FireWire bus is converted to a 4-pin connection
"* when, in 6-pin, no powering device is present, even from the=20
=46ireWire interface. This is the case when using CardBus FireWire=20
adapters or on some laptops with built-in interface"

The "doesn't even turn on" part of your message makes me suspect that=20
you have this power problem ... not a Linux problem as such but a=20
hardware problem. Only a guess, though.

If that's it, there is info on using DC adapters at=20
