New Firewire Stack Testing - Success

[Pete Graner]

Manjo,

I competed cursory testing of the new firewire stack.

Video:

dvgrab, kino: Was able to control the camera and grab video and write to
file, both audio & video worked fine.

Harddisk:

I tested a LaCie 1TB that has USB2, FW400 & FW800. I tested both the
FW400 & FW800 by transferring 700GB of real files, to/from the firewire
drive to a 1TB sata internal drive. All files were checksumed prior and
the checksums matched after the transfers.

All in all I would say its stable enough for enabling in the development
kernels.
