Hi,

I'd like to get the name of an arbitrary FireWire Device.

Do they have names?

I tried a D-Link Webcam, and my iPod - but they don't appear to have names (I looked in IORegExplorer)

They often have Vendor Names, but even the iPod doesn't have a name -- have I got this wrong?

Code:
	io_object_t		thisObject = nil;
	while (thisObject = IOIteratorNext( iterator )) 
	{
		NSLog(@"got one new object.");
		
		//		kern_return_t	nameResult;
		//		io_name_t		deviceNameChars;
		//	This works with USB devices...  
		//	but apparently not firewire
		//	nameResult = IORegistryEntryGetName( thisObject, deviceNameChars );
 		//	NSLog(@"name?  : %s" , deviceNameChars);
		
		
		id returnedPropertyObject = 
			IORegistryEntrySearchCFProperty(thisObject,
											kIOFireWirePlane,
											@"FireWire Vendor Name",
											nil,
											kIORegistryIterateRecursively);
		NSLog(@"prop: %@", returnedPropertyObject);
		
		IOObjectRelease(thisObject);
	}
