Not realy. It only works if you detach all firewire devices if you remove
only one. and other are still remain the computer reboots shortly after
the reset.
But still it may work but its not the expected behaviour. I don't think
its very handy to have to do manual resets wenn you detach a device.
The firewire code gets the detach so why isn't there a test which device
has been removed and an autodetach of the spezific device.
