        !            29: .B "device le0 at scode?"
        !            30: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            31: The
        !            32: .I le
        !            33: interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
        !            34: AMD 7990 LANCE Ethernet chip set.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: Each of the host's network addresses
        !            37: is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR
        !            38: ioctl.  The
        !            39: .I de
        !            40: interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
        !            41: .IR arp (4P)
        !            42: to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
        !            43: network.
        !            44: .PP
        !            45: The use of ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on
        !            46: input and output is supported by the interface but offers no advantage
        !            47: due to the large HP page size.
        !            48: The use of trailers is negotiated with ARP.
        !            49: This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
        !            50: by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS
        !            51: flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl.
        !            52: .SH DIAGNOSTICS

        !            61: The following message indicate a possible hardware error performing
