I think it's likely there is significant interest here. Dell has long provided a DKMS enabled ieee1394 module for RHEL4. I suspect that building the ieee1394 stack out-of-tree is probably no more difficult for RHEL5 than for RHEL4. I've been trying to find time to build a similar package for RHEL5 but it just hasn't happened the last few weeks.
