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.
