💖 QE(4) — SPARC Fast Ethernet interface 💖

okay bestie, this is the Kernel Interfaces Manual page for qe, the SPARC Fast Ethernet interface — it's giving vintage Sun networking realness ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qe — SPARC Fast Ethernet interface 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
qe* at qec?

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the qe interface is your lil doorway to 10Mb/s Ethernet networks, and it does that through the AMD Am79C940 (MACE) Ethernet controller. no cap. You'll find qe hanging out on the Sun QuadEthernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2062) — iconic hardware behavior 💅

Each of the host's network addresses gets specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). literally at boot. And the qe interface uses the address resolution protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network. so it's matching up addresses like a bestie matching outfits 🫶
