eth1394? Interesting; I've never seen anyone actually using Ethernet-over-Firewire. Neither the dv1394 nor the video1394 module is loaded.

OK, so it's seeing the thing as a raw device, not a video device. I think. I don't have any DV devices and I'm not likely to acquire any in the future, so I'm not the best person to ask about DV stuff. However, Googling for "dvgrab documentation" makes me think that the raw device is all you need. But the --dv1394 option to dvgrab can be used to make it grab via the dv1394 module. Just great....

dvgrab can't find a valid device? That's the only thing that seems to be there. Shoot... try looking at the man page for dvgrab, maybe the --noavc option? I don't know; you're going to have to play around with this some. It might help to look insys-bus-ieee1394and make sure the camera's been recognized in the files there.
