I’ve discovered a neat little tool in order to monitor IEEE1394 (firewire) devices on linux. It’s called gscanbus. It allows monitoring of devices for debugging purposes, and as I’m doing some work with firewire for my thesis, it should be quite useful. Having said that, it was a little painful to setup on fedora core 4, the machine I have at uni. For anybody else struggling, now or in the future, make sure that the raw1394 module is located in the right place, else it won’t be found.
ln -s /dev/raw/raw1394 /dev/raw1394
hopefully this helps someone in the future.
I just had my MacBook for a few weeks and now the battery already died. It won't power up without its power-adapter at all, and once it is running OS X just tells me "No batteries available".
Seems I am not the only one.
Guess I got to go to the Apple Store tomorrow and ask for a quick replacement. I just hope I don't have to wait weeks for a silly new battery. First revision Apple products... what did ya expect.
sigh,
