It's for a Firewire Network Adapter, versus a wired network and NIC, PCI
or PC Card Wireless or a USB wired or wireless device. You can safely
disable it if you are not using any Firewire Net adapter.

I had problems with the 1394 Network Adapter feature on one of my
laptops. It kept the PC from going into Suspend.
