Actually it does. I got this from the kino list:

ieee1394 on kernel 2.6 was not exporting enough information within /sys 
in order to make udev a viable solution to this until kernel 2.6.12. 
There is a simple example udev rules configuration on linux1394.org if 
you have 2.6.12 or newer. However, udev rules can be slightly different


Maybe someone who knows udev could see if these could work for fc5?
