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

SYNOPSIS
     device qe0 at uba? csr 174440 vector qeintr

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(2).  The qe interface employs the address resolution
     protocol described in arp(4) 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 negotiated with
     ARP.  This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis, by set‐
     ting the IFF_NOTRAILERS flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl.
