#85 Firewire Device Not Being Detected by Card

[Chris]

Hello,
I am attempting to use dvgrab to capture footage from my Sony HDR FX1 camera via firewire on a Raspberry pi 5. I am currently on linux kernel version 6.12.28-v8-16k+ on Raspian OS.

The output of 'lspci' is as follows:

I know my firewire card works as I have tested it on a different linux computer with my Sony camera and it works perfectly. I have also tried using a different firewire card -
FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller (rev 80) - which yields the same result as the other card on the Raspberry pi.

The output of 'dmesg | grep firewire' is :
