I have not yet finished porting eth1394 to the new stack. And given how quickly my test boxes fall over when I use eth1394 and the old stack, I really don't recommend it. For now I'd recommend a pair of cheap ethernet cards and a crossover cable. If you use gigabit cards, you'll get higher throughput than FireWire can deliver, too. -- JF
