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, respec

tively. 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 con

figuration 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.
