I recently got the opportunity to get a Lacie external firewire disk and
interface card
cheap. I configured firewire into my kernel, rebooted, and was
pleased...and surprised
when it actually worked. I was surprised because extensive trawling of
google and the
bsd mailing lists gave no indication of whether it would or wouldd not
work.


So the question is

Where do you report such happy accidents so that this can be documented
as functional?
