NAME
       fpa, fea	-- device drivers for DEC FDDI controllers

SYNOPSIS
       device fpa
       device fea

       FreeBSD only:
       pseudo-device fddi

DESCRIPTION
       The  fpa	 and  fea device driver	provides 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  configura-
       tion file.

       fea%d: error: memory not	enabled! ECU reconfiguration required  The de-
       vice  probe  found that no device memory	had been configured on the DE-
       FEA.  Also the DEFEA can	be configured with no device memory, this dri-
       ver requires a mininum of 1K device memory be  setup.   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.
