+.Sh NAME
+.Nm be
+.Nd SPARC64 Fast Ethernet interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?"
+.Cd "be* at qec?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only)
+Ethernet networks.
+The
+.Nm
+is found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards
+(Sun part number SUNW,501-2655).
+.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
+The
+.Nm
+is not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified
+with
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+The supported media types are:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxx -offset indent
+.It media 100baseTX Op mediaopt half-duplex
+Use 100Mbps, half duplex
+.It media 10baseT Op mediaopt half-duplex
+Use 10Mbps, half duplex
