Uh, you're right. Hmm, looking at the sources this seems to be an easy hack. I 
will give it a shot the coming weekend and if the patches come up useable, 
you'll be my first beta-tester ;-). This would be a 2.4.x tree patch, 
obviously, and hopefully something that doesn't destabilize things. Anyway, 
knowing how things are on the LKML, this wouldn't get introduced into 2.4.x 
until I would cheer up my wife to the idea of having two newborn kids in 
coming 24 months and actually getting them delivered, meaning: never 
;-]]]]]]]

I wonder whether the 2.5.x USB stuff (I am a definite development-kernel 
chicken and so far I haven't had guts to use them) solves that.

I'm clueless about firewire :-(
