Why do you need a specific revision? All Agere FW323 I've seen work 
equally well, its a very solid chipset. Its really only certain 
revisions of the JMicron JMB38x, the nForce 2 FireWire controller and a 
certain ALi chipset you need to be wary of these days, issues w/just 
about everything else has been resolved. There are some quirky TI 
chipsets and Via VT630x behave somewhat poorly in ohci 1.0 mode (but 
also fixed), but I've never seen an Agere FW323 that didn't Just Work.

/me, who hacks on the linux kernel firewire drivers and has a MASSIVE 
stable of firewire controllers, disks, hubs, etc., in the office...
