I got myself a vanilla Firewire card (with a VIA chipset in it) and it has
3 external ports (one 4-pin and the others 6-pin) and one 6-pin internal
port.
It worked out of the box with Linux and I haven't had any problems with
it.
I don't know how many other chipsets are there, but as long as it
implements the OHCI 1394 standard, things should work without any problems
under Linux.
I don't know anything about Firewire 2, though.
