+What:          raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
+Date:          May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
+Contact:       linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+       /dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
+       access to FireWire buses.  Its major drawbacks were its inability
+       to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
+       of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
+       of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
+       Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
+       firewire-core.

+       libraw1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI
