More accurately:

	the camera itself works

	VIA controller can do fwcontrol -R

	VIA controller attempting to do fwcontrol -S gives dropouts
	on a regular basis, every couple seconds.  NEC does the same
	thing if in CYCLEMASTER mode.  I have not been able to get
	the VIA into non-CYCLEMASTER mode.  See today's attempt to
	do so using fwcontrol -f above.

	NEC controller can do fwcontrol -S (after switching to
	non-CYCLEMASTER mode)

	NEC controller used to do fwcontrol -R

	Now, if camera is connected to NEC controller and I press play
	(sending DV data to computer), lots of bus resets happen.  The
	resets have nothing to do with running fwcontrol.  The resets
	happen even if fwcontrol has not been run at all since FreeBSD
	was rebooted.

yes

unknown

yes

If we assume that I need to get the VIA into non-CYCLEMASTER mode,
(since that worked with the NEC), any ideas why

	fwcontrol -u 0 -f 0
	fwcontrol -u 0 -r

doesn't force the VIA into non-CYCLEMASTER mode the way
it (with -u 1) works for NEC?
