That's not the issue in this case. SCSI is the problem.
I've looked at that driver. It needs to deal with device addition/removal.

As there are a lot of device on a firewire bus, it probably can't use the 
pseudo host controller hack. And shouldn't - it's a hack, which is 
unfortunately necessary for usb.

At present hotplugging in this driver sucks and will continue to
do so until the scsi subsystem is extended.

Even then for configuration there's a need to further support.
The raw news about a device is of little use. You need the information about 
partitions and other things.

	Regards
