+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bah
+.Nd ARCnet network driver for SMC COM90C26 based boards
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "bah* at zbus0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface provides access to the 2.5 Mb/s ARCnet network via the
+.Tn SMC
+COM90C26 + COM90C32
+ARCnet chip set.
+.Pp
+Each of the host's network addresses
+is specified at boot time with an
+.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
+.Xr ioctl 2 .
+The interface MTU is 507 for protocols that do not use link level fragmentation
+and 60480 bytes for the others. The routing layer may specify additional
+limits.
+.br
+Currently supported protocols are IPv4(+ARP), and IPv6.
+.Sh IP VERSION 4 CONSIDERATIONS
+When the NOARP flag is set on the
+.Nm
+interface,
+it does not employ the address resolution protocol described in
+.Xr arp 4
+to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
+network. Instead, it uses the least significant 8 bits of the IP address
+as hardware address, as described in RFC 1051 and RFC 1201.
+.Pp
+With the IFF_LINK0 flag cleared, IP and ARP encoding is done according to the
+deprecated, but popular among Amiga users, RFC 1051 encoding (that
+is, with simple header, packet type 240 / 241), and the MTU is 507.
+.Pp
+With the IFF_LINK0 flag set, IP/ARP/RARP encoding is done according to RFC 1201
+(that is, with Packet Header Definition Standard header and packet type
+212/213). The MTU is normally 1500.
+.Pp
+When switching between the two modes, do a
+.Cd ifconfig interfacename down up
+to switch the MTU.
+.Pp
+When the IFF_LINK2 flag is set, ARP packets are sent with the protocol type
+encoded as it would be in the ARCnet header, and decoded to the right protocol
+encoding on reception. According to "assigned numbers", this is wrong, but
+some legacy software (namely, AmiTCP 3.0beta) shows this bug.
+.Sh HARDWARE

+.Nm
+interface supports the following Zorro II expansion cards:
