└─>Nosy - a FireWire traffic sniffer for PCILynx cards
In linux kernel since version 2.6.36 (release Date: 2010-10-20)
Nosy is an IEEE 1394 packet sniffer that is used for protocol
analysis and in development of IEEE 1394 drivers, applications,
or firmwares.
This driver lets you use a Texas Instruments PCILynx 1394 to PCI
link layer controller TSB12LV21/A/B as a low-budget bus analyzer.
PCILynx is a nowadays very rare IEEE 1394 controller which is
not OHCI 1394 compliant.
The following cards are known to be based on PCILynx or PCILynx-2:
IOI IOI-1394TT (PCI card), Unibrain Fireboard 400 PCI Lynx-2
(PCI card), Newer Technology FireWire 2 Go (CardBus card),
Apple Power Mac G3 blue & white and G4 with PCI graphics
(onboard controller).
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
called nosy. Source code of a userspace interface to nosy, called
nosy-dump, can be found in tools/firewire/ of the kernel sources.
If unsure, say N.
