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

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.
