37The

37The |
38.Nm 39pseudo-device driver clones each ethernet type device with four 40additional interfaces. Each of them capable to send or receive only 41one predefined frame type. 42.Pp 43Names for the new interfaces created by adding 44.Ar fN

45suffix to an existing device name. Where
|
45suffix to an existing device name. Where |
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 76driver loaded. 77.Sh EXAMPLES 78The 79.Nm 80driver can be loaded via 81.Xr loader.conf 5 82file: 83.Dl if_ef_load="YES" 84.Pp 85In this case an ordinary interface configuration commands can be used 86in the 87.Xr rc.conf 5 88file: 89.Dl network_interfaces="ed2 lo0 tun0 ed2f0 ed2f1"
