DRIVER_FIND(9) Device drivers infrastructure DRIVER_FIND(9)NAME
driver_find - locate driver on a bus by its name.
SYNOPSIS
struct device_driver * driver_find(const char * name, struct bus_type * bus);
ARGUMENTS
name
name of the driver.
bus
bus to scan for the driver.
DESCRIPTION
Call kset_find_obj to iterate over list of drivers on a bus to find driver by name. Return driver if found.
Note that kset_find_obj increments driver's reference count.

FIREWIRE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual FIREWIRE(4)NAME
firewire -- IEEE1394 High-performance Serial Bus
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device firewire
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
firewire_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
FreeBSD provides machine-independent bus support and raw drivers for firewire interfaces.
The firewire driver consists of two layers: the controller and the bus layer. The controller attaches to a physical bus (like pci(4)). The
firewire bus attaches to the controller. Additional drivers can be attached to the bus.
Up to 63 devices, including the host itself, can be attached to a firewire bus. The root node is dynamically assigned with a PHY device
function. Also, the other firewire 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 firewire bus, every device is identified by an EUI 64 address.
