I was angry that I was told it was a TI chipset just to find out it was Agere.
 

The first FW643 revision was buggy, but the latest Lucent, er, Agere,
I mean, LSI chips (FW643E, FW533E) are actually better then TI chips.

It's hard to be sure what causes them, but it's unlikely to be the
controller.

Could be, didn't dig too deep on that matter as I simply use Ardour/Mixbus on OSx.


Is your FireWire interrupt shared with other devices?  Are you using the
nvidia graphics driver?  Are you running something like NetworkManager
that scans for new networks?

Interrupt- Didn't check.
Graphic driver- yes using nvidia
Network manager- yes

Just thought I would share my experience (also if it's not much).

Cheers
