Exactly. Hotplugging for those already worksaccording to the statius page of
1394. Disks are the hard part.
[MWK] Careful here. I think this means 'hot plugging' as defined by the
folks working on 1394, not 'hotplugging' as defined by the folks working
here. 1394 devices can be added or removed from the 1394 bus and the 1394
driver stack sees it. However, I think that all this stack does so far
is support an interface library above it for small apps to talk to the
hardware. [PLEASE REMEMBER, I'M NOT A SOFTWARE GUY!!!]
And while we are discussing ieee1394, how does Linux support use of that bus
as a LAN ?
[MWK] There is the beginnings of a TCP/IP Over 1394 driver that works to
some degree, although I have not used it. Last I heard it had to be
installed
as a module, which I personally rebel against being that I'm a newbie to
Linux and don't know how to do it reliably and automatically! I am quite
interested in this as I have a similar network up and running using Win ME
and would like to replace it one of these days...

Oliver
