39.Sh NAME
40.Nm le
41.Nd AMD LANCE Ethernet device
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "le0 at mainbus0"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Nm le
47interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
48.Tn AMD
497990
50.Tn LANCE
51Ethernet chip set.
52.Pp
53The use of ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on
54input and output is supported by the interface but offers no advantage
55due to the large
56.Tn HP
57page size.
58The use of trailers is negotiated with
59.Tn ARP .
60This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
61by setting the
62.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
63flag with an
64.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
65.Xr ioctl 2 .
