fwe4
Ethernet emulation driver for firewire
Usage
To compile support for the
fwe driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device firewire device fwe
Alternatively, to load the
fwe driver at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_fwe_load="YES"
Overview
The fwe 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_ch sysctl(8).
This driver supports polling(4) as well if it is compiled with the DEVICE_POLLING option.
