31.Sh NAME
32.Nm fwe
33.Nd Ethernet Emulation Driver for FireWire
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "device fwe"
36.Cd "device firewire"
37.Cd "device fwohci"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides non-standard ethernet emulation over FireWire(IEEE1394).
42.Pp
43.Nm firewire
44and
45.Nm fwohci
46must be configured in the kernel as well.
47.Pp
48This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE1394 to carry Ethernet
49frames. The stream channel can be specified by
50.Nm sysctl(8)
51(hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch).
52.Pp
53This driver supports polling(4) as well if it's compiled with
54DEVICE_POLLING option.
55.Sh HISTORY
56The fwe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
57.Sh BUGS
58This driver emulates ethernet very adhoc way and it doesn't reserve a stream channel using an isochronous manager.
59Note this driver uses very different protocol from RFC2734(IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
