Have installed Mac OSX 10.6.1 on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R motherboard @ Core i7 920 CPU 6GB DDR3 1600 MHZ Mushkin - nVidia GeForce 8600 GT 256 mb.

Everyting works fine, but the OS can not find the firewire.. No ports to find.. Some know any fixes for this? Without firewire my computer is noting, my soundcard is on firewire.. Så without that card i cant produce!

When i set the computer in sleep, then wake the firewire comming up, but i not work..

Mybe the firewire bus is broken on the motherboard.. If someone know any pci-e firewire cards to buy, please tell me
