- Mars II 740 USB IrDA Adapter

# SEE ALSO

irframe(4), uirda(4), usb(4)

# HISTORY

The `ustir` driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

# AUTHORS

The `ustir` driver was written by David Sainty <dsainty@NetBSD.org>.

# BUGS

The STIr4200 cannot notify the driver when it has received data, instead it has to be continuously polled. This driver polls (when idle) at a fairly low rate of 10 times per second, which means that system performance is not overly affected by rapid polling, but latency is fairly high.
