The latest revision requires Linux 2.6.11. To check out the last and
probably best revision that still works with Linux 2.6.9 --- i.e.
revision 1251, you have at least three options:

  1. Use a Subversion client to check out the trunk directory. Your
     distribution may include at least the command line client 'svn'.
     $ cd linux-2.6.9/drivers
     $ mv ieee1394 ieee1394.orig
     $ svn checkout -r 1251 svn://svn.linux1394.org/ieee1394/trunk/ ieee1394
     $ cd ..
     $ make ${something}

  2. Use the websvn interface to the Subversion repo. This requires
     you to modify the tarball's URL which is presented by websvn
     such that you check out a different revision.
     $ cd linux-2.6.9/drivers
     $ mv ieee1394 ieee1394.orig
     $ wget 'http://www.linux1394.org/websvn/dl.php?repname=Linux%201394&path=%2Ftrunk%2F&rev=1251&isdir=1'
     $ # Mind the rev=1251 instead of rev=0.
     $ tar xfvz dl.php*
     $ mv trunk ieee1394
     $ cd ..
     $ make ${something}

  3. Use the appropriate snapshot from my web page.
     $ cd linux-2.6.9/drivers
     $ mv ieee1394 ieee1394.orig
     $ wget 'http://me.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/rev1251/trunk.tar.bz2'
     $ tar xfvj trunk.tar.bz2
     $ mv trunk ieee1394
     $ cd ..
     $ make ${something}

Which "something"s you have to make depends on whether it is a fresh
kernel tree or you bulit and installed a kernel from there before.
In the latter case, you only need to "make modules modules_install"
and reload the 1394 driver modules if you configured them all modular.

The checkout by svn is the simplest and bestest way to do it (sic).
And it is even briefly described at www.linux1394.org.
