35.Sh NAME
36.Nm ae
37.Nd Ethernet driver for DP8390-based NuBus Ethernet boards
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "ae* at nubus?"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
44National Semiconductor DP8390 Ethernet chip set.  This set includes
45the DP83902.
46.Pp
47Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
48.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
49.Xr ioctl 2 .
50The
51.Nm
52interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
53.Xr arp 4
54to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the
55local network.
56.Sh HARDWARE
57The
58.Nm
59interface is currently known to support the following NuBus cards:
60.Bd -filled -offset indent
61.Bl -item -compact
62.It
63Asante MacCon Series
64.It
65Asante MacCon-i Series
66.It
67Asante MacCON-III+ PDS card
68.It
69Farallon EtherMac Series
70.It
71Farallon EtherWave Series
72.It
73Apple EtherTalk NB
74.It
753Com EtherLink NB
76.El
77.Ed
78.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
79.Bl -diag -compact
80.It ae%d at nubus%d: address %s, type %s  %dKB memory.
81This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
82Ethernet address of the adapter, its manufacturer, and how much buffer
83memory it has.

92The
93.Nm
94interface first appeared in
95.Nx 1.0 .
