31.Sh NAME
32.Nm fwip
33.Nd IP over FireWire driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "kldload firewire"
36.Cd "kldload if_fwip"
37.Pp
38or
39.Pp
40.Cd "device fwip"
41.Cd "device firewire"
42.Cd "device fwohci"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46driver provides standard IP over FireWire (IEEE 1394) based on the
47protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.
48.Pp
49The
50.Xr firewire 4
51and
52.Xr fwohci 4
53drivers
54must be configured in the kernel as well.
55.Pp
56This driver supports
57.Xr polling 4
58as well if it is compiled with the
59.Dv DEVICE_POLLING
60option.
61.Sh HISTORY
62The
63.Nm
64device driver first appeared in
65.Fx 5.3 .
66.Sh BUGS
67This driver currently does not support the MCAP protocol for multicast
68IP over FireWire.
69Multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets which is sufficient
70for most trivial uses of multicast.
