29.Dt FWIP 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm fwip
33.Nd "IP over FireWire driver"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following lines in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device firewire"
40.Cd "device fwip"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following lines in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47firewire_load="YES"
48if_fwip_load="YES"
49.Ed
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm
53driver provides standard IP over FireWire (IEEE 1394) based on the
54protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.
55.Pp
56The
57.Xr firewire 4
58and
59.Xr fwohci 4
60drivers
61must be configured in the kernel as well.
62.Pp
63This driver supports
64.Xr polling 4
65as well if it is compiled with the
66.Dv DEVICE_POLLING
67option.

78.Sh HISTORY
79The
80.Nm
81device driver first appeared in
82.Fx 5.3 .
83.Sh AUTHORS
84.An -nosplit
85The
86.Nm
87driver and this manual page were written by
88.An Doug Rabson ,
89based on earlier work by
90.An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
91.Sh BUGS
92This driver currently does not support the MCAP protocol for multicast
93IP over FireWire.
94Multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets which is sufficient
95for most trivial uses of multicast.
