37 .Nd National Semiconductor DP83932 (SONIC) based Ethernet device driver
47 interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
48 National Semiconductor DP83932
52 Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
57 interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
59 to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the
65 driver supports on-board JAZZ based SONIC interfaces found
66 on Acer PICA and NEC machines.
70 driver is currently known to support the following NuBus cards:
71 .Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
73 Apple LC Twisted-pair (part #820-0532-A) PDS card
82 interface supports the following interfaces:
83 .Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
85 on-board Ethernet for non-AV Quadras
87 on-board Ethernet for 500-series PowerBooks
89 Apple CS Ethernet Twisted-pair card for Comm Slot found on
90 LC575, Quadra 630, LC630, and Performa 580.
