It looks as if the new stack just does not have any Ethernet support (yet?).
I also no longer have a firewire Ethernet device on my x86_64 system.
This is confirmed on:
http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration
That same page lists several issues with the new stack when compared to the
old one and also has the following recommendation:
! <!> Regarding Linux 2.6.22 and 2.6.23, the best advice to Linux
! distributors (kernel packagers) as well as to regular users is: Build only
! the old IEEE 1394 drivers.
Please activate the old stack again.
