i was trying 1.8.1 iso.

the problem is that when the bge module is loaded it prints a bunch of
"fwohci0: xxx error message" . Consequently I can't understand what's
the connection between bge and firewire.

maybe you are right. maybe it's a matter of opinion. now with nic not
working and hence no internet connectivity there is no way i can get
vim+cscope working (gnu tools not available). i can eventually get it
working but the effort required will be considerable. it's just a
request. developers are to decide.
