Hi,
Some time ago, I used firewire between two WinXp-Pc. The firewire was used as normal 400Mbit networkcard. (The speed was about 37Mb/s.)
Is the same possible with the firewire onboard the Peg using linux ?
What about a "nullmodem"-USB2.0 connection ?
bye   |

See http://ipodlinux.org/Ethernet
it seems to describe a 2.4 kernel (which you need to patch, don't think this applies to 2.6 kernels), but should be easy to adopt for 2.6 kernel systems by just follow most of the advices. |

Seems easier to use ordinary Ethernet with a network card, but it is indeed cool with Firewire  |

| The reason behind by question is to synchronize my Laptop,which has 100Mbit, but also firewire (400Mbit). |

Judas, try to add this options in your kernel config:
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
<M> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
<M> Ethernet over 1394
|
Then "modprobe eth1394" and see if you get a new ethX interface. |
