There's no support for things that aren't ohci-fw based. As far as I know, this covers most firewire chips. If there were ISA/PCMCIA firewire cards, then they'd be very slow devices (100Mbps isn't possible sustained). They also wouldn't be supported without a lot of work. : next question is a bit hard to ask tersely, but i'll try... : does firewire avoid the goofyness that usb, usb2.0 has where the plug is : the same, but the chips' bus interface is apparantly not the same? ie usb : is supported in FreeBSD and usb2 is not. is there older, slower, firewire : things and newer, faster, firewire things and they all work? (did that : make sense?) USB 1 and USB 2 are mechanically and electrically compatible. FreeBSD's support for 2.0 is weak right now, although I know that the ehci bridges are now in the tree. I've used usb2 devices in a slower usb1 speeds once in the past.
