NAME¶
fwip
—
IP over FireWire driver
SYNOPSIS¶
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
configuration file:
device firewire
device fwip
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following
lines in
loader.conf(5):
firewire_load="YES"
if_fwip_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION¶
The
fwip
driver provides standard IP over
FireWire (IEEE 1394) based on the protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC
3146.
The
firewire(4) and
fwohci(4) drivers must be configured in the
kernel as well.
This driver supports
polling(4) as well if it is
compiled with the
DEVICE_POLLING
option.

fwip
driver and this manual page were

work by

BUGS¶
This driver currently does not support the MCAP protocol for multicast IP over
FireWire. Multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets which is
sufficient for most trivial uses of multicast.
