As far as I know, the WOLK kernel uses the same ieee1394 subsystem found
in the stock 2.4.20 kernel. I had some problems withe the sbp2 drivers
with my external Maxtor harddisk (timeouts, etc.) The developers of the
ieee1394 know of these problems and have corrected them in their code. I
have replaced the ieee1394 subsystem in my WOLK 4.6 kernel with the code
found at "www.linux1394.org". As far as I can see, you do not need the
patch for the scsi layer to provide hotpluging, as Marc seems to have a
very simmilar patch integrated allready. I activated
"SBP2_USE_SCSI_ADDREM_HACK" in sbp2.c and hotpluging works fine here.

As this stuff replaces the complete ieee1394 subsystem Marc decided not to
integrate it in WOLK 4.9, but will probably include it in 5.0.
