The ieee1394 branch from subversion was merged into one of the recent
mainline kernels (I think it was between 2.6.6-rc2 and 2.6.6-rc3). I
have been using vanilla 2.6.6-rc3 with firewire enabled and I have had
no problems whatsoever. My maxtor external hard drive works as well as
my internal one.
So I guess that for people that really require firewire capability,
compiling their own kernels might be necessary (as it is for people who
want Nvidia binary drivers or NTFS to work - I happen to need the three
of them ;)).
Cheers,
Ismael
