NAME
de — DEC DEUNA/DELUA 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
de0 at uba? csr 174510
DESCRIPTION
The
de interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through a Digital Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter (DEUNA).
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The de interface employs the address resolution protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
