# NAME

`fwip` — IP over IEEE1394 driver

# SYNOPSIS

`fwip* at ieee1394if?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `fwip` driver provides standard IP over IEEE1394 based on the protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.

The ieee1394if(4) and fwohci(4) drivers must be configured in the kernel as well.

# SEE ALSO

arp(4), fwohci(4), ieee1394if(4), netintro(4), ifconfig(8), sysctl(8)

# HISTORY

The `fwip` device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3. It was added to NetBSD 4.0.

# AUTHORS

The `fwip` driver and this manual page were written by Doug Rabson, based on earlier work by Hidetoshi Shimokawa. It was added to NetBSD 4.0 by KIYOHARA Takashi.

# BUGS

This driver currently does not support the MCAP protocol for multicast IP over IEEE1394. Multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets which is sufficient for most trivial uses of multicast.
