    Problem: IP over Firewire won't work

    Sys: RedHat-FC-3/2.6.9-1.667smp

    Done so far: - modprobed ieee1394,raw1394,ohci1394,eth1394 without any
                      error, or message
                    - changed /etc/modprobe.conf (because /etc/modules.conf does
                      not exist and Syntax implements that 'modprobe.conf'=
                      'modules.conf'): inserted the line 'alias eth1 eth1394'
                    - tryed to ifconfig eth1 ==> device missing, cant initialise
                      (original code in german)

    Checked so far: - lsmod: modules ieee1394,raw1394 & ohci1394 are
                      listed, eth1394 is _NOT_ listed!
                    - obsolete: looked for eth1394.ko, and yes... it's present,
                      (otherwise modprobe would have produced an Error Message)

    So what went wrong ?
