Firewire: Adaptec FireConnect for Notebooks (AFW-1430A) and NEC Cardbus
2-Port 1394 card -- I have used them to do remote console/debugging
under both 5.3 and -CURRENT.

USB: BUSLink USB 2.0 Cardbus for Notebook -- it is recognized and mouse,
plugged into it, works -- I have not tested it any further.

HTH,
