# NAME

`be` — SPARC64 10/100 Ethernet device

# SYNOPSIS

`qec* at sbus?`
`be* at qec?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `be` interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only) Ethernet networks. The `be` is found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Ethernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2655).

The `be` is not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified with ifconfig(8). The supported media types are:

`media` 100baseTX `mediaopt` half-duplex
  Use 100Mbps, half duplex
`media` 10baseT `mediaopt` half-duplex
  Use 10Mbps, half duplex

# HISTORY

The `be` driver first appeared in OpenBSD 3.0.
