Severity: wishlist
I have a USB/Firewire combo card in my alpha. Under 2.4.26 I can get a
network interface by simply inserting eth1394 and ohci1394 (and then,
as usual, bringing it up with ifconfig). This interface has been
sucessfully used to transfere >1 GB from my PPC based ibook. So
Ethernet over Firewire seems to work at least on alpha and ppc (and,
according to reports on the net, also on x86). Hence it would be
great, if debian-installer offered to probe for firewire as well, so
installs over firewire would be possible. Given that three archs
support it and the extra effort is quite limited, even if only few people
might use it, it would enhance the *coolness* quite a lot (especially=20
given all the serious discussions about patents, freenes, etc.). Btw.
the driver author has a @debian-address as well :-))
This is what lspci says about my Firewire:

The latest d-i daily builds should support firewire network, though I
lack the hardware to really get it going. Please test and let us know
how it works.
I'd still like a better way to know when to load firewire ethernet.
Right now, we simply load it if there is any firewire detected.
