IP over Firewire in Vista

August 4, 2007 12:36 PM

I see that Microsoft has quietly dropped IP networking over Firewire/1394 from Windows Vista. Is there any possible way to enable it, using third-party drivers or software?

Unibrain is selling an SDK for their products, which purports to allow developers to create IP over Firewire streaming applications using various of their PCI adapters, on both 32 and 64 bit Vista.

It's a start, but I am mainly looking for something that will just restore the old windows firewire functionality.

Reinstall XP. Switch to gnu+linux.
