33 .Nd Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire
35 .Cd "kldload firewire"
45 driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394).
50 must be configured in the kernel as well.
52 This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ethernet
54 The stream channel can be specified by
56 .Va hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch
61 as well if it is compiled with the
78 device driver first appeared in
83 driver and this manual page were written by
84 .An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
86 This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve a
87 stream channel using an isochronous manager.
88 Note that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734
89 (IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
