Use TCP/IP over FireWire.

Overview

Apple IP over FireWire adds support for using the Internet Protocol - commonly known as TCP/IP - over FireWire. With this software installed, Mac computers and other devices can use existing IP protocols and services over FireWire, including AFP, HTTP, FTP, SSH, etc. In all cases, Rendezvous can be used if desired for configuration, name resolution, and discovery.

The preview release adds a new Kernel Extension that hooks into the existing network services architecture. Using the existing Network Preferences Pane, users can add FireWire as their IP network node to connect and communicate between two machines.

After installing this kext on Jaguar 10.2.2 I experienced: - complete loss of all settings for network locations (both modems and Ethernet) - noticeable slowing down at start up: long (apparently) sticky time with the Apple logo before the first rotating cursor (the black&white one) appears - my ADSL connection over local Ethernet refuses to work I suggest to wait for a stable release of this kext before installing it on your computer.
