[ILUG] ip over firewire

[Philip Creevy]

The eth1 thing was something I saw on the net but I 
tried it with and without with the same result.
Here is the output of modinfo

[root]# modinfo eth1394
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2933.fc6/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/eth1394.ko
license:        GPL
description:    IEEE 1394 IPv4 Driver (IPv4-over-1394 as per RFC 2734)

srcversion:     EC67CC54521DAB0626BBEE7
alias:          ieee1394:ven*mo*sp0000005Ever00000001*
depends:        ieee1394
vermagic:       2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS 
parm:           max_partial_datagrams:Maximum number of partially
received fragmented datagrams (default = 25). (int)

ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.101 gives this result, note eth1 is been used by
a second ethernet port.
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth2: unknown interface: No such device
