QE(4)                   NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                  QE(4)


NAME

     qe -- SPARC Fast Ethernet interface


SYNOPSIS

     qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
     qe* at qec?


DESCRIPTION

     The qe interface provides access to 10Mb/s Ethernet networks via the AMD
     Am79C940 (MACE) Ethernet controller.  The qe is found on the Sun QuadEth-
     ernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2062).

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