39.Sh NAME
40.Nm qe
41.Nd
42.Tn DEC DEQNA
43.Tn Q-bus
4410 Mb/s Ethernet interface
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.Cd "device qe0 at uba? csr 174440 vector qeintr"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm qe
50interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
51the
52.Tn DEC DEQNA
53.Tn Q-bus
54controller.
55.Pp
56Each of the host's network addresses
57is specified at boot time with an
58.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
59.Xr ioctl 2 .
60The
61.Nm qe
62interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
63.Xr arp 4
64to map dynamically  between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
65network.
66.Pp
67The interface normally tries to use a
68.Dq trailer
69encapsulation
70to minimize copying data on input and output.
71The use of trailers is negotiated with
72.Tn ARP .
73This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
74by setting the
75.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
76flag with an
77.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
78.Xr ioctl .

82.Xr arp 4
83.Sh HISTORY
84The
85.Nm
86driver appeared in
