.Sh NAME
.Nm fwe
.Nd Ethernet Emulation Driver for FireWire
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device fwe"
.Cd "device firewire"
.Cd "device fwohci"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides non-standard ethernet emulation over FireWire(IEEE1394).
.Pp
.Nm firewire
and
.Nm fwohci
must be configured in the kernel as well.
.Pp
This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE1394 to carry Ethernet
frames. The stream channel can be specified by
.Nm sysctl(8)
(hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch).
.Pp
This driver supports polling(4) as well if it's compiled with
DEVICE_POLLING option.
.Sh HISTORY
The fwe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
.Sh BUGS
This driver emulates ethernet very adhoc way and it doesn't reserve a stream channel using an isochronous manager.
Note this driver uses very different protocol from RFC2734(IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
