33 .Nd "Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire"
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following lines in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44 module at boot time, place the following line in
46 .Bd -literal -offset indent
52 driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394).
57 must be configured in the kernel as well.
59 This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ethernet
61 The stream channel can be specified by
63 .Va hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch
68 as well if it is compiled with the
85 device driver first appeared in
90 driver and this manual page were written by
91 .An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
93 This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve a
94 stream channel using an isochronous manager.
95 Note that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734
96 (IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
