The packages are:<br />
apt-get install libraw1394 libraw1394-devel<br />
(you will need the later to build things that depend on libraw1394 -<br />
that's the library, not the kernel driver)<br />
<br />
You also have to load the module when you want to use it (should be<br />
already part of the kernel), that should be:<br />
/sbin/modprobe raw1394<br />
<br />
But that will (probably) not create the /dev entry, you'lll have to do<br />
that by hand. <br />
<br />
This what I think should be the entry:<br />
crw------- 1 root root 171, 0 Nov 25 18:20 /dev/raw1394<br />
("man mknod" to see how to create it)<br />
Something like:<br />
mknod /dev/raw1394 c 171 0<br />
(but I'm not sure about this...)<br />

I think the headers are included in the kernel package. Fc3 is rather<br />
old so I don't quite remember (and I don't have a fc3 machine to test).<br />
They should be in:<br />
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build<br />
<br />
If that is not enough (depends on the driver) you may need to get the<br />
source rpm for the kernel you have and unpack it and rebuild it to the<br />
point where you have complete patched kernel source tree available.<br />
Maybe tomorrow I can try to help more, I gotta go now....<br />
