Today I have achieved the ultimate goal,
full support of firewire networking via NetworkManager.

Currently it is patched with few hacks but much less that I expected.

I also had to patch dhclient as it unfortunately sends raw packets
together with hardware header (ethernet of course...)

I will soon clean up these hacks to turn them into patches and send to
developers.

The kernel side needs only the attached patch.
It adds the link state detection to firewire-net

Just for fun, this is screenshot that proves that NM works:

Of course, I still need to clean up the patches to NM and dhclient, so
more correctly I am not fully done yet.

Best regards,
