It's a German, UMax-build "Yamada DVR-9300HX HDD and DVD-recorder"
machine.

Here you are. I plugged my PCMCIA FW-card, connected the cable,
switched on the DVR, switched off and switched on again.

I have this information about it (a 7.X-machine with csup-ped and built
yesterday):

     -t      Show the topology map.

And no other information. So I don't know, what the flags C or P in the
port-column means, and I didn't know (now, I know it), that the ID
(with 2 numbers) are the same, that the node. It's OK. But:

> The node "name" is the "id" field from fwcontrol -t.  It's a number,
> like 0, 1 or 2

My problem is: after the previous fwcontrol output (which showed me,
that I have a node with ID: 00 and another node with ID: 01, I cannot
ask anything from these nodes:

# fwcontrol -n 0
fwcontrol: no such node 0.
# fwcontrol -c 1
fwcontrol: no such node 1.
# fwcontrol -c 00
fwcontrol: no such node 0.
# fwcontrol -c 01
fwcontrol: no such node 1.

Can I switch on some debugging (only) about the FW?

(I hope, I can switch to 8.0 in one ot two month.)

I don't think, this is my problem, as tt (the DVR) has only one
FW-connector port. (I didn't find any information about it's HW - is
it an S400- or an S800-capable machine.)
