Debian firewire support

Christian, you forgot to mention the Linux kernel, where a member of the kernel team deliberately broke hardware support.
Thanks to Holger for these links, he has listed several more. I disagree with the suggestion that shipping the old firewire stack in the linux-extra-modules package is sufficient workaround; unless this is not prohibiting it from being included in the installer to support ethernet over firewire? (though in such case it will certainly have implications due to the fact that this package should be pulled in when the installer used eth1394)

So Adrian, you too may want to reconsider if Debian really does have less compatibility regressions than other distributions.
