NAME
fwip —
IP over IEEE1394 driver

The
fwip driver provides standard IP over IEEE1394 based on

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

NetBSD
4.0.

fwip driver and this manual page were written by

Hidetoshi Shimokawa. It was added to
NetBSD 4.0 by

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.
