# NAME

qe — SPARC Fast Ethernet interface

# SYNOPSIS

qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
qe* at qec?

# DESCRIPTION

The qe interface provides access to 10Mb/s Ethernet networks via the AMD Am79C940 (MACE) Ethernet controller. The qe is found on the Sun QuadEthernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2062).
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an `SIOCSIFADDR` ioctl(2). The qe interface employs the address resolution protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
