    Short answer:
    Try and reinstall the 1394 net adapter drivers again when it appears as adapter 2. If that works, leave it be.

    Long answer:
    I am concerned when people say they downloaded this or that because I don't know what or where you got it from and that can cause an issue. Driver backup tools are far and few between as far as free and safe goes.

    SlimDrivers can install your drivers for you but backing up your drivers is rarely useful as they are out of dare usually within months so why bother?
