FWIP(4)			    Kernel Interfaces Manual		       FWIP(4)

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.

SEE ALSO
       arp(4),	 firewire(4),	fwe(4),	 fwohci(4),  netintro(4),  polling(4),
       ifconfig(8), kldload(8),	sysctl(8)

HISTORY
       The fwip	device driver first appeared in	FreeBSD	5.3.

AUTHORS
       The fwip	driver and this	manual page were written by Doug Rabson, based
       on earlier work by Hidetoshi Shimokawa.

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.
