        !            13: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            14: The
        !            15: .I de
        !            16: interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
        !            17: a Digital Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter (DEUNA).
        !            18: .PP
        !            19: Each of the host's network addresses
        !            20: is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR
        !            21: ioctl.  The
        !            22: .I de
        !            23: interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
        !            24: .IR arp (4P)
        !            25: to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
        !            26: network.
        !            27: .PP
        !            28: The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation
        !            29: to minimize copying data on input and output.
        !            30: The use of trailers is negotiated with ARP.
        !            31: This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis,
        !            32: by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS
        !            33: flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl.

        !            40: The hardware indicated an error
        !            41: in transmitting a packet to the cable.
        !            42: The status and error flags are reported.

        !            47: The status and error flags are reported.

        !            53: \fBde%d: buffer unavailable\fP.  The interface received more packets
        !            54: than it had buffers allocated to receive them.
        !            55: .PP

        !            57: The interface was unable to reprogram
        !            58: its physical ethernet address.
        !            59: This may happen with very early models of the interface.
        !            60: This facility is used only when
        !            61: the controller is not the first network interface configured for XNS.

        !            65: The two control and status registers
        !            66: should indicate the nature of the failure.
        !            67: See the hardware manual for details.
