This results in 119an immediate 120.Em panic: vs_olen . 121.El 122.Sh SEE ALSO 123.Xr netintro 4 , 124.Xr inet 4 125.Sh HISTORY 126The 127.Nm 128driver appeared in 129.Bx 4.2 . 130.Sh BUGS 131The encapsulation of trailer packets in the 132.Bx 4.2 133version of this driver 134was incorrect (the packet type was in 135.Tn VAX 136byte order). 137As a result, the trailer encapsulation in this version is not compatible 138with the 139.Bx 4.2 140.Tn VAX 141version. 142
