DESCRIPTION
The le interface provides access to the 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
AMD 7990 LANCE Ethernet chip set.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. The le interface employs the address resolution pro-
tocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ether-
net addresses on the local network.
MEDIA SELECTION
In systems with more than one connector, media selection is performed by
ifconfig(8) keywords.
