.Sh NAME
.Nm sn
.Nd Ethernet driver for SONIC-based Ethernet adapters
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "sn* at obio?"
.Cd "sn* at nubus?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the
National Semiconductor DP83932
.Pq Tn SONIC
Ethernet chip set.
.Pp
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
.Xr ioctl 2 .
The
.Nm
interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
.Xr arp 4
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the
local network.
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
interface is currently known to support the following NuBus cards:
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
Apple LC Twisted-pair (part #820-0532-A) PDS card
.It
Cayman Gatorcard PDS
.It
Dayna DaynaPort/E30
.El
.Pp
In addition, the
.Nm
interface supports on-board Ethernet for 500-series PowerBooks and
non-AV Quadras.
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
.Bl -diag -compact
.It sn%d at %s%d: address %s, type %s  %dKB memory.
This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical
Ethernet address of the adapter, its manufacturer, and how much buffer
memory it has.

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
interface first appeared in
.Nx 1.3 .
