There is probably not a solution coming up soon, because Apple is not
really considering it critical.

It's not just the RME fireface... a lot of interfaces are having trouble
with the Mac firewire chipset. And it's a chipset that some PC motherboards
have used also.

Buy an older Mac and you'll be fine. They are rugged and last a good while.

macbook is realy good for my needs, which are recording outdoors and
that i could run LIVE! on it.

If you are working outside, i can recommend the MOTU traveler. I must
confess I had to send the first one back but now the one i have is
working, I'm really happy with it. With the rack ears removed, it's
small enough to go in my backpack, the 4 pre-amps are good and it
works fine with my macbook pro.
