1394 device stops after reboot

[Matt]

I have a DV camera running through an optical fiber 1394
extender. Without the extender everything works fine.
With the extender, I get this message from the device
manager after rebooting: "device cannot start...". If I
unplug the device and plug it back it in, it starts
working. Also, if I use the device manager to disable
the device and re-enable it, it starts working.

What could the problem be? I've already installed hotfix
Q329256, "Inconsistent gap count can cause 1394 devices
to not enumerate." Which *did* resolve a problem I had
with the DV camera in general, but has not solved the
problem with the fiber optic extender in place.

Help!

Thanks,
Matt

I'd say the extender doesnt work as advertised
