NAME
le —
AMD LANCE Ethernet device
SYNOPSIS
le0 at mainbus0
DESCRIPTION
The le interface provides access to a 10
Mb/s Ethernet network via the AMD 7990 LANCE Ethernet chip set.
The use of ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on
input and output is supported by the interface but offers no advantage due
to the large HP page size. The use of trailers is negotiated with ARP. This
negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis, by setting the
IFF_NOTRAILERS flag with an
SIOCSIFFLAGS
ioctl(2).
