NAME
     ae - Ethernet driver for AMD 79C960 LANCE based boards

SYNOPSIS
     ae* at zbus0

DESCRIPTION
     The ae interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
     AMD 79C960 LANCE Ethernet chip set.

     Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
     SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. The ae interface employs the address resolution proto-
     col described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet
     addresses on the local network.

     This card come with two different assortment of connectors:

     10Base2               BNC, also known as thin-net

     10BaseT               UTP, also known as twisted pair

     The card uses an autoselect between UTP and BNC, so it uses UTP when an
     active UTP line is connected or otherwise BNC.  To choose an alternate
     port, use the following flag combinations with ifconfig(8) or in your
     /etc/hostname.ae? file.

     -link0                Use the autoselect between UTP and BNC (default).

      link0 -link1         Use the BNC port.

      link0  link1         Use the UTP port.

HARDWARE
     The ae interface supports the following Zorro II expansion cards:

           ARIADNE  Village Tronic's ethernet card, manufacturer 2167,
                    product 201

NOTES
     Multicasting needs to be tested.

HISTORY
     The ae interface first appeared in NetBSD 1.0A
