.Dd December 14, 2004 .Dt FWE 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm fwe .Nd Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "kldload firewire" .Cd "kldload if_fwe"
p or
p .Cd "device firewire" .Cd "device fwe" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394).
p .Xr firewire 4 and .Xr fwohci 4 must be configured in the kernel as well.
p This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ethernet frames. The stream channel can be specified by the .Va hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch .Xr sysctl 8 .
p This driver supports .Xr polling 4 as well if it is compiled with the .Dv DEVICE_POLLING option. .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver first appeared in .Fx 5.0 . .Sh BUGS This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve a stream channel using an isochronous manager. Note that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734 (IPv4 over IEEE 1394). .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr firewire 4 , .Xr fwip 4 , .Xr fwohci 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr ng_ether 4 , .Xr polling 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 , .Xr kldload 8 , .Xr sysctl 8 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm driver and this manual page were written by .An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
