ieee 1394 is not yet optimal supported on Linux, but see freebob.sf.net 
for some details, including working devices.

If you're not bound to the firewire port and you're interested in a 
painless solution, I can recommend USB 1.1 devices (AFAIK there are no 
USB 2.0 devices known to work under Linux).

There are cards from Tascam which work fine as well as I personally can 
recommend the Edirol UA-25.


Happy X-mas ;-))) .


Best regards
