I don't have it :-)
Look, I have 2 firewire controllers:
sm01@stt008:~$ lspci | grep 1394
06:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controller (rev 01)
11:03.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
But not their ethernet counterpart (just the "real" devices):
sm01@stt008:~$ dmesg | grep -i eth

It's like Rodolfo's ethernet device got messed in some way and the system
now detects his ethernet connection as Firewire.
