The i\bil\bl interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through an
Interlan 1010 or 1010A controller.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The i\bil\bl interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Eth-
ernet addresses on the local network.
The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation to mini-
mize copying data on input and output. The use of trailers is negotiated
with ARP. This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis, by
setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl.

off the cable or an illegally sized packet.

dresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.

physical ethernet address. This may happen with very early models of the
interface. This facility is used only when the controller is not the
first network interface configured for XNS. The oldest interface tested
(2.7.1.0.1.45) has never failed in this way.

error performing the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or ini-

low-order four bits) should indicate the nature of the failure. See the
hardware manual for details.
