FWIW, I have a belkin FW card, a 3 porter, that replaced a pcilynx from 
TI that didn't work, ever.  Once the 1394 patches were put into the 
tree about 9 months ago, it has worked flawlessly, or at least well 
enough I can import from a Sony tvr-460 handicam in real time with zero 
hiccups.

That card signs on as(from lspci):
01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 
IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)

So its yet another TI based card, but here, its working very good.  But 
its not the latest 800mhz version either.
