I had my brother come over to my place with his PowerBook with FireWire
support, and plugged it into a 1394 card I got for my system.  We both
enabled Ethernet-over-1394 by loading the eth1394 module, and played
around.

We did some testing, and were able to wget files off of my machine at
11-12 MByte/s.  Not exactly using the full potential of FireWire, but I
guess the module is still experimental.  Anyway, I thought it was just a
fun thing to play around with until I actually get some 1394 hardware
;-)
