Hi Everyone, I'm running wine in a Linux Ubuntu installation and I need to use a two firewire ports pcmcia but Wine doesn't seem to recognise it at all! Do you know if it is compatible with wine? (I know that it is not possible to use it on windows Vmware virtual machines) If it is, Can anyone throw some light on how can I get wine to recognise this hardware? (I installed the pcmcia driver using wine ) Many thanks in advance

Is there any other program similar to wine supporting them? Thanks, Alberto

IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 80) Does it mean Ubuntu has natively recognised it? Thanks

How to configure your particular hardware is not a Wine question. Ask your distro, or consult http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org
