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 firewire"
41.Cd "device fwip"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver provides standard IP over FireWire (IEEE 1394) based on the
46protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.
47.Pp
48The
49.Xr firewire 4
50and
51.Xr fwohci 4
52drivers
53must be configured in the kernel as well.
54.Pp
55This driver supports
56.Xr polling 4
57as well if it is compiled with the
58.Dv DEVICE_POLLING
59option.

70.Sh HISTORY
71The
72.Nm
73device driver first appeared in
74.Fx 5.3 .
75.Sh AUTHORS
76.An -nosplit
77The
78.Nm
79driver and this manual page were written by
80.An Doug Rabson ,
81based on earlier work by
82.An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
83.Sh BUGS
84This driver currently does not support the MCAP protocol for multicast
85IP over FireWire.
86Multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets which is sufficient
87for most trivial uses of multicast.
