+.Sh NAME
+.Nm se
+.Nd Cabletron EA41x SCSI bus Ethernet interface driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "se* at scsibus? target ? lun ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the
+.Tn Cabletron
+EA41x
+.Tn SCSI
+bus
+.Tn Ethernet
+interface.
+.Pp
+This driver is a bit unusual.
+It must look like a network interface and it must also appear to be a
+.Tn SCSI
+device to the
+.Tn SCSI
+system.
+.Pp
+In addition, to facilitate
+.Tn SCSI
+commands issued by userland programs, there are
+.Fn open ,
+.Fn close ,
+and
+.Fn ioctl
+entry points.
+This allows a user program to, for example,
+display the EA41x statistic and download new code into the adaptor \-
+functions which can't be performed through the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+interface.
+Normal operation does not require any special userland program.

+Acknowledgement: Thanks are due to
+.An Philip L. Budne Aq Mt budd@cs.bu.edu
+who reverse engineered the EA41x.
+In developing this code, Phil's userland daemon "etherd",
+was referred to extensively in lieu of accurate documentation for the device.
+.Sh BUGS
+The EA41x doesn't conform to the
+.Tn SCSI
+specification in much at all.
+About the only standard command supported is
+.Qq inquiry .
+Most commands are 6 bytes long, but the recv data is only 1 byte.
+Data must be received by periodically polling the device with the
+recv command.
