FireWire is "supported" I'm not sure if it's enabled in GENERIC for  
the release you're using. I wouldn't try it on anything other than - 
current. I've had consistent crashes in sbp2 on detach and 0xdeadbeef  
in stack traces. So it isn't what I'd call stable, your milage may  
vary as there are other ghosts in the machine I was testing it on.
