Hi, how to disable firewire?

Instructions from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910410 do not work for my hardware

a) lspci | grep -i fire
03:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
b) lspci | grep -i fire
02:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW322/323 (rev 70)

What modules to kill?
Is it correct to put them as "blacklist foo" in /etc/modprobe.d/firewire-blacklist
and then also run sudo update-initramfs -u -v
and reboot?


Btw, is there perhaps more universal way to disable firewire?

Or to leave it enabled, but in some polling more or something that does not have the above bug/feauture or any memory direct access by firewire device?
