I have never tried any of this, but I have Gentoo Linux running on an
Apple G3 Powerbook. While compiling the 2.4.22-ben2 kernel I noticed the
option:
(M) IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support (EXPERIMENTAL -->
(M) IEC61833-1 Plug support
(M) IEC61883-6 (Audio transmission) support
Looks like someone's working on it. You can probably find more information
on the web by searching for those IEC strings.
FWIW - my firewire hard disk works with this kernel.

Hi,
I recently read about the new MotU 828mkII (Firewire 8in/8out interface). This
sparked a enewed interest in Firewire and I looked around for other
interfaces. I found the Presonus Firestation (among others), it that seemed
to be very good value for money. (the MotU ain't bad either, but a bit on the
expensive side.)
A laptop + such an interface would in may opinion make a great pair!
So, does anyone have a clue if any of these are likely to work under linux
anytime soon?
The Firestation seems to use mLAN, I know I've seen talk about it here before.
I have no idea whether mLAN would make the chances better or worse ;).
