Compiling a kernel is *not* "programming". It does, though, take a
bit of geek knowledge.

What kernel are you running? If a stock Debian binary kernel, then
the work has probably been already done for you.

AGNULA/DeMudi 2.6.12
It doesn't offer me any sort of option to use firewire in the
Networking panel. Modem, Ethernet, Wireless, Parallel Line, and
Infrared.
Didn't there used to be a find option in the Debian File Browser?
This is just one of those things I can't think of any possible reason
not to include, but it's not there. And the Help file for File
Browser is not found. Maybe I should toss AGNULA and just install
Debian like I did before.

Try searching the kernel config file under boot for IEEE1394 options:

==========

kvaughan:~# grep IEEE1394 /boot/config-2.6.16
CONFIG_IEEE1394=m
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_OUI_DB is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXTRA_CONFIG_ROMS is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API is not set
CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=m
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2 is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394 is not set
CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m
