Thanks a lot of reply in a short time.

The answers that I recieved are those I tried: ie. try "ifconfig -a"
And I know the special file, /dev/ae0, should not be made by hand.

I wonder my ethernet card might be recognized, or not.
It is "Apple Ethernet NB Twisted Pair Card: Pat # 341-1096".
Is it "Apple-compatible"?  When I boot NetBSD, I read the following message:

  nubus0: slot c:Apple Ethernet NB Twisted Pair Card (...): not configured
                                                      ^^^ vendor information
And I try "ifconfig ae0 ":
  ifconfig:SIOCGIFFLAGS: Device not configured

When I try "ifconfig -a", the reported devices are
        ppp0, ppp1, lo0, and sl0

"Apple Ethernet NB Twisted Pair Card" has a "SONIC-T" chip: its chip
number seems "s9406AH" or "DP83934AVQB".  Is it a supported one?
I wonder it might be not.  This is my new question.
