+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fwe
+.Nd "Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device firewire"
+.Cd "device fwe"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_fwe_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394).
+.Pp
+.Xr firewire 4
+and
+.Xr fwohci 4
+must be configured in the kernel as well.
+.Pp
+This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ethernet
+frames.
+The stream channel can be specified by
+the
+.Va hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch
+.Xr sysctl 8 .
+.Pp
+This driver supports
+.Xr polling 4
+as well if it is compiled with the
+.Dv DEVICE_POLLING
+option.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver and this manual page were written by
+.An Hidetoshi Shimokawa .
+.Sh 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).
