        !            11: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !            12: .B "device il0 at uba0 csr 164000 vector ilrint ilcint"
        !            13: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            14: The
        !            15: .I il
        !            16: interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
        !            17: an Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
        !            18: .PP
        !            19: Each of the host's network addresses
        !            20: is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR
        !            21: ioctl.  The
        !            22: .I il
        !            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.
        !            34: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
        !            35: \fBil%d: input error\fP.  The hardware indicated an error
        !            36: in reading a packet off the cable or an illegally sized packet.
        !            37: .PP
        !            38: \fBil%d: can't handle af%d\fP.  The interface was handed
        !            39: a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
        !            40: family; the packet was dropped.
        !            41: .PP
        !            42: \fBil%d: setaddr didn't work\fP.  The interface was unable to reprogram
        !            43: its physical ethernet address.
        !            44: This may happen with very early models of the interface.
        !            45: This facility is used only when
        !            46: the controller is not the first network interface configured for XNS.
        !            47: The oldest interface tested (2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.
        !            48: .PP
        !            49: The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing
        !            50: the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
        !            51: The status field in the control and status register (the low-order four bits)
        !            52: should indicate the nature of the failure.
        !            53: See the hardware manual for details.
        !            54: .PP
