2028993SmckusickThe
21*47674Scael.Nm qe
2228993Smckusickinterface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through

2828993SmckusickEach of the host's network addresses
29*47674Scaelis specified at boot time with an
30*47674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
31*47674Scael.Xr ioctl 2 .
32*47674ScaelThe
33*47674Scael.Nm qe
3428993Smckusickinterface employs the address resolution protocol described in
35*47674Scael.Xr arp 4
3628993Smckusickto map dynamically  between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
3728993Smckusicknetwork.
38*47674Scael.Pp
39*47674ScaelThe interface normally tries to use a
40*47674Scael.Dq trailer
41*47674Scaelencapsulation
4228993Smckusickto minimize copying data on input and output.
43*47674ScaelThe use of trailers is negotiated with
44*47674Scael.Tn ARP .
4528993SmckusickThis negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
46*47674Scaelby setting the
47*47674Scael.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
48*47674Scaelflag with an
49*47674Scael.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
50*47674Scael.Xr ioctl .
