     ae - Ethernet driver for DP8390-based NuBus Ethernet boards

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     ae* at nubus?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The ae interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet  network via the
     National  Semiconductor  DP8390 Ethernet chip set.  This set
includes the
     DP83902.

     Each of the host's network addresses is  specified  at  boot
time with an
     SIOCSIFADDR  ioctl(2).  The ae interface employs the address
resolution
     protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between  Internet and Ethernet
 addresses on the local network.

HARDWARE    [Toc]    [Back]

     The ae interface is currently known to support the following
NuBus cards:

           Asante MacCon Series
           Asante MacCon-i Series
           Farallon EtherMac Series
