Upgrade to v8 lost some Hardware

[bforest]

In my case,

I have used a Sony PCGA-DDRW3 firewire external drive since version 6.x so I could perform backups to and burn DVD and CD data discs. Now that I have upgrade to v8.0 the drive is no longer recognized.

When I attach the device the OS seems to see it but K3B will not recognize it as being attached.

What needs to happen for me to get this device working again?

[section from dmesg when device is attached:]

When I attach the drive to my PCBSD7.1.1 Laptop I get in dmesg:
