Ethernet driver for DP8390-based NuBus Ethernet boards
The ae interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet
  network via the National Semiconductor DP8390 Ethernet chip set. This set
  includes the DP83902.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time
    with an SIOCSIFADDR
    ioctl(2). The
    ae interface employs the address resolution protocol
    described in arp(4) to
    dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
    network.
The ae interface is currently known to support the
  following NuBus cards:
  - Asante MacCon Series
- Asante MacCon-i Series
- Asante MacCON-III+ PDS card
- Farallon EtherMac Series
- Farallon EtherWave Series
- Apple EtherTalk NB
- 3Com EtherLink NB
 
  - ae%d at nubus%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.
Theae interface first appeared in
  NetBSD 1.0.
