I've had an external hard drive with USB, IEEE 1394 and IEEE 1394b

only recently decided to give it a try. I'd used the drive with both
USB and (original) Firewire in Linux and it worked just fine.
I just installed a PYRO 1394b PCI card. I plugged the cable into the PC
and then the other end into the back of the Hard Drive. The drive
started up immediately. Therefore I know everything is fine on the
Hardware end.
But the software is a problem. Had I done this with USB or "regular"
Firewire GNOME would have popped open a window with the drive's contents.
Nothing happened. Zilch. Zip.
So I took a gander at device manager and from best I can tell there was
no trace of a mention of a Firewire 1394b PCI card.
Before writing this I searched all over and came up with very little.
But from what little I did gather Linux does indeed support IEEE 1394b
(per www.linux1394.org). From what I gathered though support can vary
depending on chipset. I have no idea what my chipset is and have been
unable to determine it from the box, manual or vendors web site.
Has anyone else faced this or a similar situation?
Any advice?
You can use lspci to check if your PCI card was detected, and dmesg to
check if your hard drive was detected. At least, that's what I'd do!
