netdock* at nubus?

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
