To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be

This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394.
To access it from application programs, you generally need at least
- libraw1394 version 2. IIDC/DCAM applications also need libdc1394
- version 2. No libraries are required to access storage devices
- through the firewire-sbp2 driver.

This enables IPv4 over IEEE 1394, providing IP connectivity with
