There are no hubs that you plug into Firewire that give you USB 2.0 ports. There are USB/Firewire hubs but for the USB 2.0 to work you need to connect it to a USB 2.0 card, you can't just connect the firewire and expect the USB peripherals to work

They make a hub that supports both firewire and usb but you can't plug in usb devices into it unless you plug the hub into a usb port
