Is the PC side driver patch any different from the patch included 
below? If so, where would I find such a patch? I've already tried 
editing eth1394.c, removing and reloading the module. Are there any 
steps I'm missing?

         ptask->dest_node = dest_node;
         INIT_TQUEUE(&ptask->tq, hpsb_write_sched, ptask);
