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.
