False
Firewire connections are connections for Firewire devices to connect to a computer or some other Firewire device. They are often found on digital video cameras and high level digital audio equipment.

No devices are listed in a device manger, because there is no such thing.Microsoft Windows OS does have a Device Manager.BIOS setup will not display scanners, printers, or some USB and FireWire devices.Device manager will not display legacy devices that do not utilized Plug and Play (PnP) technologyThe Printers window may not recognize some USB and FireWire devices.
1. Some scanners and usb/firewire devices
You can use a program called 'Device Manager', this will bring up all the devices connected and installed on the computer, find the Firewire Device and right-click or double left click and 'uninstall'.
Devices that don't appear in device manager--- such as a scanner, printer, or some USB or FireWire devices--- Page 814 in the A+ CompTIA 2009 7th edition (2. Check that Device Manager reconizes the device with no errors or warnings.)
For devices that won't appear in Device Manager- such as scanner, printer, and some USB or FireWire devices- Use the Utility program that came bundled with the device to check for errors. (You should find the program on the Start, all programs menu.)
The older ones do, but the very latest ones do not.

i am assuming that you know what a firewire is. not all computers come with a firewire input. if your computer doesn't have a firewire IN. then you have to buy a card, which gives you the acessability to plug a firewire cable into your computer.
No. 1394 is firewire. You don't need 1394 / firewire to connect to a wireless connection.However, considering I havn't seen firewire on a laptop for awhile now Im going to assume you are on a desktop..?!?If this is the case, desktops don't natively connect to wireless connections (say the way a laptop would) so usually you have to hook up some sort of extra device. Any external devices I have seen were all USB, but if you were using an external device that connected to the computer via firewire - then yes you would need the firewire enabled. But again, in saying that, if firewire wasnt enabled and you plugged in your device it wouldn't work at all - in any way, shape or form.Enabling firewire isn't hard either. Usually takes all of 3 minutes to do. You could just enable it anyway, incase you need to use it in future.
A near infinite variety of types of devices are possible, but certain interfaces have limits on what can be connected:USB - 128 devices maximum (including hubs)Firewire - 63 devices maximum (including hubs)Thunderbolt - 6 devices maximumSCSI - 7 devices maximumMIL-STD-1553 - 30 devices maximumFibre Channel - about 16777216 devices maximumRS-232 serial - 1 device maximumetc.
