87*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Sh BUGS
88*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThis driver emulates ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve a
89*86d7f5d3SJohn Marinostream channel using an isochronous manager.
90*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoNote that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734
91*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino(IPv4 over IEEE 1394).
