NAME

       lance - LANCE Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS

       bind -a #l /net

       /net/ether/clone
       /net/ether/[0-7]
       /net/ether/[0-7]/data
       /net/ether/[0-7]/ctl
       /net/ether/[0-7]/stats
       /net/ether/[0-7]/type

DESCRIPTION

       The LANCE Ethernet interface is a directory containing 9 stream directories: one for each of 8 Ethernet packet types and a clone file.

       Each  stream  directory	contains files to control the stream, receive and send data, and supply statistics.  Incoming Ethernet packets are
       demultiplexed by packet type and passed up the corresponding open stream.  Reading from the data file reads packets  at	the  head  of  the
       stream.	 A read will terminate at packet boundaries.  Each write to the data file causes a packet to be sent.  The Ethernet address of the
       interface is inserted into the packet header as the source address.

       A stream is assigned a packet type by opening its ctl file and writing connect n where n is a decimal integer constant identifying the Eth-
       ernet  packet  type.   A value of -1 stands for all types.  If multiple streams are assigned to a given packet type a copy of the packet is
       passed up each stream.

       Reading the type file returns the decimal value of the assigned Ethernet packet type.  Reading the stats file  returns  status  information
       and the Ethernet address of the interface.

       An  interface  normally	receives  only	packets  whose	destination  address  is  that	of  the  interface  or	is  the broadcast address,
       ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.  The interface can be made to receive all packets on the network by writing the string promiscuous to the ctl file.  The
       interface remains promiscuous until the control file is closed.	The extra packets are passed up only streams of type -1.
