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 Ethernet addresses on the
local network.

ae
interface is currently known to support the following NuBus cards:
-
-
Asante MacCon Series
-
