Passive ieee 1394 bus monitor

[Francois R. <fgr...@in...>]

Is it possible to use an OHCI card as a passive bus monitor?

I was thinking of using a Linux machine with an OHCI card as a bus
monitor so that I can monitor the trafic between 3 or 4 embedded 
devices (non-PCs).  The PC will only be used during development, 
so I don't want it interfering/interacting with the devices on the 
bus.

Does the OHCI have a snoop option that can be used for this purpose?

Cheers
  Francois
