Firewire is a (mostly) dead technology, especially for
new designs.

I suppose you could consider a USB2 <-> Ethernet
adapter.  It would not be "true" gigabit, but it would
likely double/triple the 100Mb/s link speed.

Realistically, the 100Mb/s is not a limit for recording
from a HDHR, as while (in theory) each stream could
be 38Mb/s, none (other than occasional stunt programming)
are, so even if all three streams were active, 100Mb/s
is sufficient.  Of course, that does not include other
activities.
