NAME
       qe - DEC DEQNA Q-bus 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface

SYNOPSIS
       /sys/conf/SYSTEM:
	    NQE  qe_controllers # DEQNA

DESCRIPTION
       The qe interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through the DEC DEQNA Q-bus controller.

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

       The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on input and output.  The use of trailers is nego-
       tiated  with  ARP.   This  negotiation  may  be disabled, on a per-interface basis, by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS
       ioctl.
