I believe the Apple Thuderbolt-to-Firewire is built with an TI chip and will work out of the box under Linux
There are people running Apple adapter successfully under Linux"
I am also using an Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter without any problems. This is using Arch Linux on a Lenovo T430s which also has an ExpressCard slot - I've tried using the ExpressCard-Firewire adapter I used with my previous laptop but the Thunderbolt adapter seems more stable (not sure whether because of Firewire chip or other reasons).

Coming back to the original question: Apple offers reasonably affordable
Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapters (Firewire 800, one connection, about
$30). I have no idea how the driver situation for a Thinkpad (or even a
Mac) would look under Linux. "Requires OS x v 10.7.4 or later" does not
exactly sound like a long-supported standard chip.
