Hi,

Some problems with SBP2 login timeouts have been corrected in more
recent ieee1394 code.  If you're comfortable with building a new
kernel it may be sufficient to get a very recent 2.4.19 kernel.
If that doesn't work, you may need to get the very latest ieee1394
code from:

	http://www.linux1394.org/tarballs/

This is a brand new site and apparently the DNS entries haven't been
set up yet so you may have to wait a day or two to access this site.
The tarballs from this site are designed to replace the drivers/ieee1394
directory in the Linux kernel source tree.
