you have to load the correct drivers of course (as with any other OS)
the standard debian 2.6.8 kernel image already enabled ieee1394 as
modules so you just have to load them correctly.
you can either do it manually, enter them in /etc/modules or use
hotplug/udev

the driver for the controller is most probably ohci1394, so to load it
just type modprobe ohci1394, or add a line to /etc/modules with "ohci1394" in it.
the drivers for the devices is probably best loaded by hotplug or udev
and therefore done automatically
