" Pq "sun4c/sun4m" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the +.Tn National +DP83840 +Ethernet chip set. The +.Nm +is found on the SunSwift and Sun QuadFastEthernet boards. +.Pp +Each of the host's network addresses +is specified at boot time with an +.Dv SIOCSIFADDR +.Xr ioctl 2 . +The +.Nm +interface employs the address resolution protocol described in +.Xr arp 4 +to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local +network. +.Pp +When a +.Nm +interface is brought up, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the link speed. +The speeds, in order of attempt, are: +100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and +10 Mb/s Half Duplex. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ie 4 , +.Xr le 4 , +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr inet 4 , +.Xr arp 4 +.Sh BUGS +The autonegotiation process is not as robust as it should be. +.Sh HISTORY +Support for the +.Nm +first appeared in +.Ox 2.3 |
