Hmm, this is very strange. Apparently eth1394 do not have proper ethernet MAC addresses assigned? That specific code asks the kernel for the MAC of the interface and the kernel returns something which doesn't have the length 6. But ethernet MAC addresses are supposed to have the length 6. Could you please paste the output of "ip link" on you machine?
