I don't know how well it works, but firewire support went into -CURRENT in the
last few months and has been backported to -STABLE. 4.8 should have some
support. As to how well it works, I don't know...
For details, have a look in /sys/dev/firewire. Possibly also at cvsweb:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/firewire/
I don't know where firewire is discussed. It's probably best to mail the
author of the code and ask him. That would appear to be simokawa at freebsd.org,
looking at the changelogs...
