38.Sh NAME
39.Nm qe
40.Nd
41.Tn DEC DEQNA
42.Tn Q-bus
4310 Mb/s Ethernet interface
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "device qe0 at uba? csr 174440 vector qeintr"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm qe
49interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
50the
51.Tn DEC DEQNA
52.Tn Q-bus
53controller.
54.Pp
55Each of the host's network addresses
56is specified at boot time with an
57.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
58.Xr ioctl 2 .
59The
60.Nm qe
61interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
62.Xr arp 4
63to map dynamically  between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
64network.
65.Pp
66The interface normally tries to use a
67.Dq trailer
68encapsulation
69to minimize copying data on input and output.
70The use of trailers is negotiated with
71.Tn ARP .
72This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
73by setting the
74.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
75flag with an
76.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
77.Xr ioctl .

82.Sh HISTORY
83The
84.Nm
