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 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 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.
