netdock
—
Ethernet driver for Asante NetDock and Newer Ether
MicroDock
The netdock
interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s
Ethernet network via the Asante NetDock and Newer Ether MicroDock, for
PowerBook Duo series.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time
with an SIOCSIFADDR
ioctl(2). The
netdock
interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4)
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
network.
The netdock
interface is currently known to support the
following interfaces for PowerBook Duo series:
- Asante NetDock
- Newer Ether MicroDock
- netdock%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.
The netdock
interface first appeared in
NetBSD 2.0.
