Hey all,<br><br>When I make a list of all the hardware connected to my computer I have a problem with firewire devices:<br><br>I have an apple iSight plugged in and I get the following 2 devices in HAL:<br><br> ieee1394.product

This is a big problem for me because it means firewire devices will be ignored from my lists. broken.
