Was this using Myth from src?... or running the lastest RPMs posted on
ATrpms?

I'm running the latest "stable" (non-bleeding) RPMs, and have the same
problems as Curtis.

My FireWire card:
Kouwell Model KW-1582V <http://www.kouwell.com.tw/pr-m3.htm#1582v> - (aka
BTC 1394 PCI Card)
http://www.kouwell.com.tw/pr-m3.htm#1582v

If I recall correctly, it was listed in linux1394.org
<http://linux1394.org>compatibility list at the time I bought it.


Thanks,
Dave
