From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't have much experience with Firewire sorry but with the double adapters in play, I believe you're facing a PCIe tunneling security issue. Check your BIOS to see if there are any Thunderbolt settings, or settings to allow or disallow PCIe tunneling. The next thing to check is whether the Thunderbolt devices are authorized in Linux.

This page should help you with that: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.12/admin-guide/thunderbolt.html
