How to use Ethernet over Firewire?

Note: this is a work in progress

You need to compile a kernel including the following (NOT as modules):
- ieee1394
- ohci1394
- eth1394
Restart your computer
Your firewire ethernet connection should be listed under System-> Administration-> Networking, or you can use ifconfig to list your network devices.

Alternative to try

sudo modprobe raw1394
sudo modprobe ohci1394
sudo modprobe ieee1394
sudo modprobe eth1394

Your firewire ethernet connection should be listed under System-> Administration-> Networking, or you can use ifconfig to list your network devices.

You may need ifconfig eth1 up (or eth2, or another number), before you see the interface with ifconfig.

Using a firewire cable and the above commands, you can have a network between to PCs having both a firewire port.
