The q\bqe\be interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through
the DEC DEQNA Q-bus controller.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The q\bqe\be interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4) to map dynamically between Internet and
Ethernet 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.
