NAME
ie — Intel 82586 Ethernet interface driver
SYNOPSIS
ie0 at obio0 addr 0x7f0800 ipl 3
ie0 at mbmem0 addr 0x88000 ipl 3
ie1 at mbmem0 addr 0x8c000 ipl 3
ie1 at vme0 addr 0xe88000,0xe00000 len -1,0x40000 irq 3 vect 0x75
DESCRIPTION
The
ie interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the Intel 82586 Ethernet chip set.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The ie interface employs the Address Resolution Protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
