+.Sh NAME
+.Nm firewire
+.Nd IEEE1394 High-performance Serial Bus
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device firewire"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+firewire_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fx
+provides machine-independent bus support and raw drivers for
+.Nm
+interfaces.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver consists of two layers: the controller and the
+bus layer.
+The controller attaches to a physical bus
+(like
+.Xr pci 4 ) .
+The
+.Nm
+bus attaches to the controller.
+Additional drivers can be attached to the bus.
+.Pp
+Up to 63 devices, including the host itself, can be attached to
+a
+.Nm
+bus.
+The root node is dynamically assigned with a PHY device function.
+Also, the other
+.Nm
+bus specific parameters,
+e.g., node ID, cycle master, isochronous resource manager and bus
+manager, are dynamically assigned, after bus reset is initiated.
+On the
+.Nm
+bus, every device is identified by an EUI 64 address.
