40.Sh NAME
41.Nm ustir
42.Nd SigmaTel STIr4200-based USB-IrDA bridge support
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "ustir*   at uhub?"
45.Cd "irframe* at ustir?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides support for USB-IrDA bridges based on the SigmaTel STIr4200.
50The driver is known to work with the following adapters:
51.Pp
52.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
53.It
54.Tn Mars II 740 USB IrDA Adapter
55.El
56.Pp
57Access to the IrDA device is through the
58.Xr irframe 4
59driver.
60.Sh SEE ALSO
61.Xr irframe 4 ,
62.Xr uirda 4 ,
63.Xr usb 4
64.Sh HISTORY
65The
66.Nm
67driver
68appeared in
69.Nx 1.6 .
70.Sh AUTHORS
71The
72.Nm
73driver was written by
74.An David Sainty Aq David.Sainty@dtsp.co.nz .
75.Sh BUGS
76The STIr4200 cannot notify the driver when it has received data, instead it
77has to be continuously polled.  This driver polls (when idle) at a fairly low
78rate of 10 times per second, which means that system performance is not overly
79affected by rapid polling, but latency is fairly high.
