MythTV and FireWire on Fedora 9? Plugreport reports nothing?

Jarod et al,

I'm running a currently up-to-date Fedora 9 system and I just
gave it a new PCI Firewire card with a TI Chipset.  The card is
an IOFLEX-FW4 with an OHCI-LYNX (according to the box).  The dmesg log
shows the following lines that contain the string 'firewire':

firewire_ohci 0000:01:09.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
firewire_ohci: Added fw-ohci device 0000:01:09.0, OHCI version 1.0


However, plugreport doesn't show me anything, even though I have
two cable boxes plugged in:

[root at mythtv ~]# plugreport
[root at mythtv ~]# 

This is my first time trying to use the new firewire stack but
I expected the basics to work.

Note that the firewire card was not here when I installed the
machine, but I expected the kernel probes to find it.   I'm happy
to find out that I'm just missing a driver, but the firewire
drivers do appear to be loaded:

firewire_ohci          30468  0 
firewire_core          45632  1 firewire_ohci
crc_itu_t              10240  1 firewire_core

Help?
