33.Sh NAME
34.Nm ustir
35.Nd SigmaTel STIr4200-based USB-IrDA bridge support
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "ustir*   at uhub?"
38.Cd "irframe* at ustir?"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver provides support for USB-IrDA bridges based on the SigmaTel STIr4200.
43The driver is known to work with the following adapters:
44.Pp
45.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
46.It
47.Tn Mars II 740 USB IrDA Adapter
48.El
49.Pp
50Access to the IrDA device is through the
51.Xr irframe 4
52driver.
53.Sh SEE ALSO
54.Xr irframe 4 ,
55.Xr uirda 4 ,
56.Xr usb 4
57.Sh HISTORY
58The
59.Nm
60driver
61appeared in
62.Nx 1.6 .
63.Sh AUTHORS
64The
65.Nm
66driver was written by
67.An David Sainty Aq Mt dsainty@NetBSD.org .
68.Sh BUGS
69The STIr4200 cannot notify the driver when it has received data, instead it
70has to be continuously polled.
71This driver polls (when idle) at a fairly low
72rate of 10 times per second, which means that system performance is not overly
73affected by rapid polling, but latency is fairly high.
