NAME
ae -- Ethernet driver for DP8390-based NuBus Ethernet boards
SYNOPSIS
ae* at nubus?
DESCRIPTION
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 Eth- ernet addresses on the local network.
HARDWARE
The ae interface is currently known to support the following NuBus cards: Asante MacCon Series Asante MacCon-i Series Asante MacCON-III+ PDS card Farallon EtherMac Series Farallon EtherWave Series Apple EtherTalk NB 3Com EtherLink NB
DIAGNOSTICS
