\topic{NAME}
LANCE (Scout in-kernel lance ethernet driver)

\topic{SYNOPSIS}

\noindent 
LANCE is a Scout in-kernel ethernet driver.  It is based on the LANCE
driver for the Mach 3 kernel.  

Each instantiation of LANCE is associated with a single ethernet
device.  

\topic{REALM}

\noindent 
LANCE is in the ASYNC realm, supporting the ethernet driver interface
described in the ETH appendix.

\topic{PARTICIPANTS}

\noindent 
LANCE supports the ethernet driver interface rather than a standard
xkernel UPI interface and thus makes no use of participant stacks.

\topic{EXTERNAL INTERFACE}

\noindent 
LANCE supports the ethernet driver interface
described in the ETH appendix.

\topic{CONFIGURATION}

\noindent 
LANCE requires no lower protocol.  The instance name should correspond
to the name of the device controlled by that particular instantiation.
E.g.,

\medskip

{\tt name=lance/ln0;}

\medskip

\noindent for lance device ln0.
