LE(4)                 OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (HP300)                LE(4)

NAME
     le - AMD LANCE Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS
     le* at dio?

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).
