There is ffado project for external firewire sound cards. I have Echo
AudioFire 4, it is good enough for me (http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/69).

Do not buy anything but fully supported sound card from ffado project!
Here is list:

Ubuntu Studio 8.04 do not have support for ffado, but Ubuntu Studio 9.04
does (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libffado0). But you can quite
easy build ffado library from source for Ubuntu Studio 8.04, if you like
to use that version.
And one more thing - there can be issues with firewire host controller -
check your laptop first:

I have TI in both machines I use (use 'lspci' command):
Desktop:
06:03.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A
IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
Laptop:
0a:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23
IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
