NAME

       fpa, fea — device drivers for DEC FDDI controllers

SYNOPSIS

       device fpa
       device fea

       FreeBSD only:
       device fddi

DESCRIPTION

       The  fpa  and  fea device drivers provide support for the DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller and the DEC DEFEA
       EISA FDDI Controller, respectively.  All variants of either controller are supported  including  the  DAS
       and SAS configurations.

DIAGNOSTICS

       fea%d:  error:  desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ (%d)  The device probe detected that
       the DEFEA board  is  configured  for  a  different  interrupt  than  the  one  specified  in  the  kernel
       configuration file.

       fea%d:  error:  memory  not  enabled! ECU reconfiguration required  The device probe found that no device
       memory had been configured on the DEFEA.  Although the DEFEA can be configured  with  no  device  memory,
       this  driver  requires  a minimum of 1K device memory to be set up.  The ECU (EISA Configuration Utility)
       will need to be run to change the settings.

CAVEATS

       Normally, the device driver will not enable the reception of SMT frames.  However if the  IFF_LINK1  flag
       is set, the device driver will enable the reception of SMT frames and pass them up to the Berkeley Packet
       Filter for processing.
