+Device Drivers for DEC FDDI Controllers
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device fpa0"
+.Cd "device fea0 at isa? net irq ? vector feaintr"
+.Pp
+FreeBSD only:
+.Cd "pseudo-device fddi"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm fpa
+and
+.Nm 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.
+.Pp
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "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.
+.It "fea%d: error: memory not enabled! ECU reconfiguration required"
+The device probe found that no device memory had been configured on the
+DEFEA. Also the DEFEA can be configured with no device memory, this driver
+requires a mininum of 1K device memory be setup. The ECU (EISA Configuration
+Utility) will need to be run to change the settings.
+.El
+.Sh 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.
