-.Sh NAME
-.Nm ef
-.Nd "pseudo-device driver providing support for multiple Ethernet frame types"
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "device ef"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-pseudo-device driver clones each Ethernet type device with four
-additional interfaces.
-Each of them is capable to send or receive only
-one predefined frame type.
-.Pp
-Names for the new interfaces are created by adding a
-.Ar fN
-suffix to an existing device name.
-Where
-.Ar N
-is a device unit which can have one of the following values:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-0 interface with an Ethernet_II frame
-1 interface with a Novell Ethernet_802.3 frame
-2 interface with an Ethernet_802.2 frame
-3 interface with an Ethernet_802.2/SNAP frame support.
-.Ed
-.Pp
-For example, device
-.Ar ed0
-will be populated with four devices:
-.Ar ed0f0 ,
-.Ar ed0f1 ,
-.Ar ed0f2
-and
-.Ar ed0f3 .
-.Pp
-After that, each device can be configured as usual:
-.Dl # ifconfig ed0f1 ipx 0x105
-This will configure IPX protocol with network number
-.Ar 0x105
-and
-.Ar Ethernet_802.3
-frame type.
-.Pp
-Please note that it is impossible to configure the IPX protocol on the parent
-.Ar ed0
-device after the
-.Ar if_ef.ko
-driver has been loaded.
-.Pp
-If the parent interface is not configured for any other protocol
-(IP for example), subinterfaces will not function.
-To avoid that, the parent interface should be
-manually marked as
-.Dq up :
-.Dl # ifconfig ed0 up
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-The
-.Nm
-driver can be loaded via the
-.Xr loader.conf 5
-file:
-.Dl if_ef_load="YES"
-.Pp
-In this case, ordinary interface configuration commands can be used
-in the
-.Xr rc.conf 5
-file:
-.Dl network_interfaces="ed2 lo0 tun0 ed2f0 ed2f1"
-.Dl ifconfig_ed2f0_ipx="ipx 0x101"
-.Dl ifconfig_ed2f1_ipx="ipx 0x102"
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-None.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr ipx 3 ,
-.Xr ifconfig 8

-.Sh CAVEATS
-Avoid to configure the parent Ethernet device for the IPX protocol, after the
-.Nm
-driver is loaded.
