Ah.  Sorry for the confusion.  I know that my 1.5 kernel prints "not
configured" when it finds my FireWire controller, and I also know the 1.5.1
INSTALL.html says that FireWire is unsupported.  Perhaps the problem with my
kernel is specific to my hardware (or maybe I just need to reconfigure the
kernel).  Also it looks like INSTALL.html needs to be updated.
