There is a serious problem with Apples motherboard implementation of
OHCI. It ignores all the byte swap registers (which seems to be legal
according to the OHCI spec). There is a serious discussion of this
going on in the Linux1394 project. There are 3 or so different
possible solutions and they're zeroing in on which one should be
implemented. 

I would expect a solution to available in CVS in the not too distant
future. 

If you want more info check out the 'Big Endian OHCI patch' thread on
linux1394-devel.
