        !            26: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            27: The
        !            28: .I ex
        !            29: interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
        !            30: an Excelan controller used as a link-layer interface.
        !            31: .PP
        !            32: Each of the host's network addresses
        !            33: is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR
        !            34: ioctl.  The
        !            35: .I ex
        !            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: \fBex%d: HW %c.%c, NX %c.%c, hardware address %s\fP.
        !            49: This provides firmware revisions levels, and is expected during

        !            53: There was a failure in allocating unibus resources for the device.

        !            55: \fBex%d: configuration failed; cc = %x\fP.
        !            56: The hardware indicated an error when trying to initalize itself.
        !            57: The error code returned is described at length in the device
        !            58: Reference Manual.

        !            60: \fBex%d: receive error %b\fP.  The hardware indicated an error
        !            61: in reading a packet from the cable.

        !            64: \fBex%d: transmit error %b\fP.  The hardware indicated an error
        !            65: in transmitting a packet to the cable or an illegally sized packet.
        !            66: Specific Error bits are provided
