Re: how does firewire work with RedHat?

hi...

i have now managed to get an eth1 associated with my firewire port
and configure it, however it will not talk to a windoze system...

and documents say that this is the case accept with later versions...
which I assume I don't have a late enough one :-(   gscanbus does
see my windows computer fine and hotplug obviously works, way faster
on linux than my braindead windoze systems do.

So, I guess I need to compile a kernel with later version of 1394
modules... or, does anyone know if fedora has a later 1394 module
that would support IP over eth1394 to windoze systems?

Thanks

Bill

Hi,

I've read the docs below, looked at my stock redhat kernel
config from RH 9 and it has all the 1394 stuff configured as modules...
and the modules are loaded and I've run the testlibraw and it
comes back with reasonable values.

I have then tried to downlaod and compile gscanbus-0.7.1.
The configure of this fails saying I need a libraw1394 from 18.01.2001
or newer.  I think this is libraw1394-0.9, which is what is loaded
so I can't figure that out first of all...

What I want to do is use the eth1394 to link two PCs together
for high speed file transfers, but I can't seem to find anyway
of configuring ethX for firewire... using network device control
and trying to add hardware doesn't seem to have any hardware
remotely like 1394...

How can I configure my ohci1394 as an ethX?  Has anyone done
this with stock rh9 kernel and communicated between a windoze
and linux platform using IP?

Thanks

Bill

Hi,

I've got an adaptec firewire card that I just put in my
linux server running RH9.  I booted up and kudzu found
it and configured it...  but now I haven't a clue on how
to actually use it.  What I want to use it for, hopefully,
is to network my laptop to it, so I can backup my laptop
to a samba shared disk at high speed.  On my laptop, the
firewire port actually appears as a network interface that
I can configure with IP.  So far, I can't see any evidence
of additional network interfaces on my linux server even
though this has been configured.  Does anyone have any
pointers to docs or anything on how to network using
firewire.

Thanks

Bill
