Red Hat Enterprise ES 3 or 4 and Firewire
Hello,
I am thinking about buying me a Firewire Controller Card (Adaptec) to connect an external firewire encloser with 2 HDD's to it. I have digged arround in the forum a little and it might be that I am running into some problems. I also where not able to find my answers at redht.com either.
My Questions:
1. REd Hat ES 3 or 4. Does that support 1394b Firewire cards ?
2. Which vendor of firewire cards would you recommend...for SCSI it is for example adaptec ?
3. Or would it be easier for me to use a USB 2.0 encloser because USB is more supported by Red Hat ?
I am worried that I get me some hardware and then it does not work with Redhat.
Please let me know if you have any advises, recommendations or ideas.
Thank you
Marcus

I am not too familiar with Firewire but in Kernel 2.6, there is Firewire support, so I assume RHEL4 will be able to make use of it.

Red Hat does not support firewire in either RHEL 3 or 4. The ieee1394 module is available in their kernel-usnupported rpm for RHEL 3. The kernel-usnupported rpm in RHEL 3 contains the modules found in the kernel.org kernel but are not supported by Red Hat. The drivers are provided as a courtesy.
As far as RHEL 4 goes, firewire support is not available or supported
