lspci on my 3000 N100 says that firewire is a Ricoh chipset.

That is the bad chipset. I have the same one and it does NOT stream correctly, and thus
is unusable for Linux audio.
I purchased a FireWire Express Card that has a TI chipset and works perfectly, for US$60
online. In fact, I am using it right this moment, for capturing DV from a friend's
camera.

From my
experience with my thinkpad, firewire generally works fine. I
discovered that to
get a clean sound with my presonus firebox, I had to
turn off the wireless radio, as they shared the same irq interrupt. I
have had no problems capturing video from my camcorder.
I do not know if the 3000 series have the same firewire chipset (Texas
Instruments).
