     fpa, fea - DEC FDDI controller device driver

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
     The DEFEA can be configured  with  no  device  memory,  this
driver requires a
     minimum  of  1K device memory be set up.  The ECU (EISA Configuration Utility)
 will need to be run to change the settings.

CAVEATS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
