firewire cardbus recommendations?

Howdy list,

I've determined that the 4 pin firewire port on my IBM A30p, while
being detected by the kernel, seems to be incapable of detecting
a bus powered 6 pin external SBP hdd. I even tried putting a self
powered firewire hub between the hdd and my 4 pin port with no
change in behavior (i.e. the hdd wasn't detected).

However, I *have* tried the drive with multiple 6 pin firewire
controllers (Mac Powerbook and PCI Firewire VIA controller under
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2), so I think the best solution is to buy a
6 pin firewire cardbus card for my laptop.

Does anyone have one that they recommend for use with 5.2.1? I know
that `man fwohci` lists workable chipsets, but I find it difficult
to find cardbus cards that list the chipset.

Thanks!
