Seems that it found your Firewire ports and generously assigned an IP-over-Firewire interface. It doesn't do harm, but if you don't want to load it automatically, put eth1394 in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. The exact reverse happens with the airport driver - you want to load it, but it is not found automatically. Simply put airport in /etc/modules and it should work fine on the next boot, and use the command `modprobe airport' to load the module right away. Just make sure you use the correct interface name, or use the mapping stanza of /etc/network/interfaces to figure it out automatically. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe!
