31.Sh NAME
32.Nm fwe
33.Nd Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "kldload firewire"
36.Cd "kldload if_fwe"
37.Pp
38or
39.Pp
40.Cd "device firewire"
41.Cd "device fwe"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394).
46.Pp
47.Xr firewire 4
48and
49.Xr fwohci 4
50must be configured in the kernel as well.
51.Pp
52This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ethernet
53frames.
54The stream channel can be specified by
55the
56.Va hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch
57.Xr sysctl 8 .
58.Pp
59This driver supports
60.Xr polling 4
61as well if it is compiled with the
62.Dv DEVICE_POLLING
63option.

75.Sh HISTORY
76The
77.Nm
78device driver first appeared in
79.Fx 5.0 .
80.Sh AUTHORS
81The
82.Nm
83driver and this manual page were written by
84.An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
85.Sh BUGS
86This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve a
87stream channel using an isochronous manager.
88Note that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734
89(IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
