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 vari-
     ants of either controller are supported including the DAS and SAS	configu-
     rations.

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  differ-
     ent 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.   Al-
     though  the  DEFEA can be configured with no device memory, this driver re-
     quires a minimum of 1K device memory to be set up.  The ECU (EISA	Configu-
     ration 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 re-
     ception of SMT frames and pass them up to the Berkeley  Packet  Filter  for
     processing.
