NAME
fwe
- Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device firewiredevice fwe
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf5:
if_fwe_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394).
firewire(4)
and
fwohci(4)
must be configured in the kernel as well.
This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ethernet
frames.
The stream channel can be specified by
the
hw.firewire.fwe.stream_chsysctl(8).
This driver supports
polling(4)
as well if it is compiled with the
DEVICE_POLLING
option.
The
driver and this manual page were written by
An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
BUGS
This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve a
stream channel using an isochronous manager.
Note that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734
(IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
