                     24: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     25: .B "device de0 at uba0 csr 174510 vector deintr"
                     26: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     27: The
                     28: .I de
                     29: interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
                     30: a Digital Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter (DEUNA).
                     31: .PP
                     32: Each of the host's network addresses
                     33: is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR
                     34: ioctl.  The
                     35: .I de
                     36: interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
                     37: .IR arp (4)
                     38: to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
                     39: network.
                     40: .PP
                     41: The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation
                     42: to minimize copying data on input and output.
                     43: The use of trailers is negotiated with ARP.
                     44: This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
                     45: by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS
                     46: flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl.
                     47: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
                     48: \fBde%d: hardware address %s\fP.
                     49: This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
                     50: ethernet address of the adapter.
                     51: .PP
                     52: \fBde%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d)\fP.
                     53: The hardware indicated an error
                     54: in transmitting a packet to the cable.
                     55: The status and error flags are reported.
                     56: .PP
                     57: \fBde%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d)\fP.
                     58: The hardware indicated an error
                     59: in reading a packet from the cable.
                     60: The status and error flags are reported.
                     61: .PP
                     62: \fBde%d: can't handle af%d\fP.  The interface was handed
                     63: a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
                     64: family; the packet was dropped.
                     65: .PP
                     66: \fBde%d: buffer unavailable\fP.  The interface received more packets
                     67: than it had buffers allocated to receive them.
                     68: .PP
                     69: \fBde%d: address change failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b\fP.
                     70: The interface was unable to reprogram
                     71: its physical ethernet address.
                     72: This may happen with very early models of the interface.
                     73: This facility is used only when
                     74: the controller is not the first network interface configured for XNS.
                     75: .PP
                     76: The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
                     77: the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
                     78: The two control and status registers
                     79: should indicate the nature of the failure.
                     80: See the hardware manual for details.
                     81: .PP
