46.Ar N
47is a device unit which can have one of the following values:
48.Bd -literal -offset indent
490 interface with an Ethernet_II frame
501 interface with a Novell Ethernet_802.3 frame
512 interface with an Ethernet_802.2 frame
523 interface with an Ethernet_802.2/SNAP frame support.
53.Ed
54.Pp
55For example, device
56.Ar ed0
57will be populated with four devices:
58.Ar ed0f0 ,
59.Ar ed0f1 ,
60.Ar ed0f2
61and
62.Ar ed0f3 .
63.Pp
64After that, each device can be configured as usually:
65.Dl # ifconfig ed0f1 ipx 0x105
66This will configure IPX protocol with network number
67.Ar 0x105
68and
69.Ar Ethernet_802.3
70frame type.
71.Pp
72Please note that it is impossible to configure IPX protocol on the 'raw'
73.Ar ed0
74device after
75.Ar if_ef.ko

78The
79.Nm
80driver can be loaded via
81.Xr loader.conf 5
82file:
83.Dl if_ef_load="YES"
