2028993SmckusickThe
2147674Scael.Nm qe
2228993Smckusickinterface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
2347674Scaelthe
2447674Scael.Tn DEC DEQNA
2547674Scael.Tn Q-bus
2647674Scaelcontroller.

2828993SmckusickEach of the host's network addresses
2947674Scaelis specified at boot time with an
3047674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
3147674Scael.Xr ioctl 2 .
3247674ScaelThe
3347674Scael.Nm qe
3428993Smckusickinterface employs the address resolution protocol described in
3547674Scael.Xr arp 4
3628993Smckusickto map dynamically  between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
3728993Smckusicknetwork.
3847674Scael.Pp
3947674ScaelThe interface normally tries to use a
4047674Scael.Dq trailer
4147674Scaelencapsulation
4228993Smckusickto minimize copying data on input and output.
4347674ScaelThe use of trailers is negotiated with
4447674Scael.Tn ARP .
4528993SmckusickThis negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
4647674Scaelby setting the
4747674Scael.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
4847674Scaelflag with an
4947674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
5047674Scael.Xr ioctl .
