FPA(4)                    NetBSD Programmer's Manual                    FPA(4)


NAME

     fpa, fea, fta - DEC FDDI interface driver


SYNOPSIS

     fpa* at pci? dev ? function ?
     fea* at eisa? slot ?

   alpha and pmax
     fta* at tc? slot ? offset ?


HARDWARE

     Cards supported by the fpa, fea and fta device driver are:

           DEFPA   DEC PCI FDDI Controller

           DEFEA   DEC EISA FDDI Controller

           DEFTA   DEC TurboChannel 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 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.
