I have three extensions: FireWire Support, FireWire Enabler, and FireWire CardBus Enabler. From reading the Apple site today, the last one is specific to the Newer card, so it can be disabled. What I think is happening is that the iPod recognizes the FW and starts up, but the computer doesn't see what's on the end of the FW cable and therefore doesn't mount it. I looked at Apple System Profiler while I had the iPod plugged in and it was not listed on the devices and volumes tab - in fact the FW card wasn't either.
