NAME

     fpa, fea, fta - Device Drivers for DEC FDDI Controllers


SYNOPSIS

     fpa0 at pci?
     fea0 at eisa?
     fta0 at tc?


DESCRIPTION

     The fpa, fea and fta device driver provides support for the DEC DEFPA PCI
     FDDI Controller, the DEC DEFEA EISA FDDI Controller, and the DEC DEFTA
     TurboChannel FDDI Controller, respectively.  All variants of either con-
     troller 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 de-
     vice probe found that no device memory had been configured on the DEFEA.
     The DEFEA can be configured with no device memory, this driver requires a
     mininum of 1K device memory be setup.  The ECU (EISA Configuration Utili-
     ty) 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.
