35.Sh NAME
36.Nm ae
37.Nd Ethernet driver for DP8390-based NuBus Ethernet boards
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "ae* at nubus?"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
44National Semiconductor DP8390 Ethernet chip set.  This set includes
45the DP83902.
46.Pp
47Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
48.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
49.Xr ioctl 2 .  The
50.Nm
51interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
52.Xr arp 4
53to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the
54local network.
55.Sh HARDWARE
56The
57.Nm
58interface is currently known to support the following NuBus cards:
59.Bd -filled -offset indent
60.Bl -item -compact
61.It
62Asante MacCon Series
63.It
64Asante MacCon-i Series
65.It
66Asante MacCON-III+ PDS card
67.It
68Farallon EtherMac Series
69.It
70Farallon EtherWave Series
71.It
72Apple EtherTalk NB
73.It
743Com EtherLink NB
75.El
76.Ed
77.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
78.Bl -diag -compact
79.It ae%d at nubus%d: address %s, type %s  %dKB memory.
80This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
81Ethernet address of the adapter, its manufacturer, and how much buffer
82memory it has.

91The
92.Nm
93interface first appeared in
