SN(4) | NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual | SN(4) |
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The sn interface employs the address resolution protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
In addition, the sn interface supports the following interfaces:
Jason Thorpe has rewritten a new machine independent SONIC driver which uses bus_dma(9) and bus_space(9) APIs after NetBSD 1.5 release, and NetBSD/arc has been switched to using the machine independent (MI) driver.
NetBSD/mac68k has also been switched to using the MI driver after the NetBSD 4.0 release.
