a powermac and the config_rom I have on a PC. It appears that the big-endian
property of the firewire bus is not respected here.

Then I was able to see that the 5 first words of the iPod config_rom were
read correctly and the followings not and fail on an ack timeout.

from the lowest value to the real max speed of the device, and this does
not work with my iPod. I don't know why, I suspect an incompatibility between
my firewire card and the iPod. As I'm not an expert, the only solution
I found is to allow the user to force the max device speed at firewire-core
level (in my case, force_speed is 0 -> FW100)

[PATCH 2/2] firewire: add a parameter to force the speed of the
