What is IEEE net Adapter in device manager

[stroyal]

I've only had XP pro for a short while. and I noticed that in device manager their are two network cards.

The nforce one and this firewire one. I disabled the IEEE 1394 one for a couple of weeks and saw no differance.

What is this for?

IEEE 1394 cards can be used as network devices, hence your firewire card (perhaps its on the mb?) also shows up as a nic.

Yes, my motherboard has firewire. That explanes it.
