dmesg is long - I'll try to snip as much of what looks irrelevant to me :)

This added to the end of the previous dmesg when I plugged the Dazzle in:

ieee1394: Current remote IRM is not 1394a-2000 compliant, resetting...
ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023]  GUID[0003f30000005f96]

I figured lsmod may be useful to show you as well (snipped for
relevancy again):
