DSE(4)

NAME 💖

Okay so bestie, this is DSE(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it's literally the page for dse — the DaynaPORT SCSI/Link SCSI bus Ethernet interface driver. It's giving tiny SCSI Ethernet driver with main character energy, no cap. ✨

SYNOPSIS 🎀

dse* at scsibus? target ? lun ?

DESCRIPTION 🦋

The dse driver supports the DaynaPORT SCSI/Link SCSI bus Ethernet interface. These devices can also be currently emulated on a Raspberry Pi with an RaSCSI board running PiSCSI software. Cute!! 💖

There are additionally open(), close(), and ioctl() entry points so that the device also appears as a SCSI device. Currently these functions are place holders. Bestie, that's the whole vibe for now. 🫶

• scsi(4)
• ifconfig(8)

AUTHORS 👑

• Hiroshi Noguchi <ngc@ff.iij4u.or.jp>
• Matt Sandstrom <mattias@beauty.se> who modified this driver for NetBSD 1.5.3

Shoutout to both of them, fr fr. 💅

BUGS 💀

Lowkey important: this device doesn't conform to the SCSI specification. Also that this manual page was written by Nathanial Sloss <nathanialsloss@yahoo.com.au>. 🫶
