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 hello Tux the penguin hello

well I do think it could be possible. I cannot tell right off how you do it.

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.

Yes, it's perfectly possible. We installed Gentoo during SNDF2004 using firewire due to some hardware issues.

Jepp, it's included in the 2.6 kernel.

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

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.
