# 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 ?

# DESCRIPTION

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 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.

# AUTHORS

The fpa, fea and fta device driver and manual page were written by Matt Thomas.

# BUGS

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.
