.Sh NAME
.Nm bah
.Nd ARCnet network driver for SMC COM90C26 based boards
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "bah* at zbus0"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
interface provides access to the 2.5 Mb/s ARCnet network via the
.Tn SMC
COM90C26 + COM90C32
ARCnet chip set.
.Pp
Each of the host's network addresses
is specified at boot time with an
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
.Xr ioctl 2 .
The interface MTU is 507 for protocols that do not use link level fragmentation
and 60480 bytes for the others. The routing layer may specify additional
limits.
.br
Currently supported protocols are IPv4(+ARP), and IPv6.
.Sh IP VERSION 4 CONSIDERATIONS
When the NOARP flag is set on the
.Nm
interface,
it does not employ the address resolution protocol described in
.Xr arp 4
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
network. Instead, it uses the least significant 8 bits of the IP address
as hardware address, as described in RFC 1051 and  RFC 1201.
.Pp
With the IFF_LINK0 flag cleared, IP and ARP encoding is done according to the
deprecated, but popular among Amiga users, RFC 1051 encoding (that
is, with simple header, packet type 240 / 241), and the MTU is 507.
.Pp
With the IFF_LINK0 flag set, IP/ARP/RARP encoding is done according to RFC 1201
(that is, with Packet Header Definition Standard header and packet type
212/213). The MTU is normally 1500.
.Pp
When switching between the two modes, do a
.Cd ifconfig interfacename down up
to switch the MTU.
.Pp
When the IFF_LINK2 flag is set, ARP packets are sent with the protocol type
encoded as it would be in the  ARCnet header, and decoded to the right protocol
encoding on reception. According to "assigned numbers", this is wrong, but
some legacy software (namely, AmiTCP 3.0beta) shows this bug.
