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

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
