+.Sh NAME
+.Nm le
+.Nd
+.Tn HP AMD
+7990
+.Tn LANCE
+Ethernet interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device le0 at scode?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm le
+interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
+.Tn AMD
+7990
+.Tn LANCE
+Ethernet chip set.
+.Pp
+Each of the host's network addresses
+is specified at boot time with an
+.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
+.Xr ioctl .
+The
+.Xr le
+interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
+.Xr arp 4
+to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
+network.
+.Pp
+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
+.Tn HP
+page size.
+The use of trailers is negotiated with
+.Tn ARP .
+This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
+by setting the
+.Dv IFF_NOTRAILERS
+flag with an
+.Dv SIOCSIFFLAGS
+.Xr ioctl .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It le%d: hardware address %s.
+This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
+ethernet address of the adapter.
+.Pp
+.It de%d: can't handle af%d.
+The interface was handed
+a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
+family; the packet was dropped.
+.Pp
+The following message indicate a possible hardware error performing
+the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
+.Pp
+.It le%d: init timeout, stat = 0x%x.
+The hardware did not respond to an initialize command during reset.
+The reset procedure continues anyway.
