FPA(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual FPA(4)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.
SEE ALSO arp(4), netintro(4), ifconfig(8)AUTHORS
The fpa and fea device drivers and this manual page were written by Matt Thomas.
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.

I might sound stupid for asking, but could someone please tell me how to view all the device drivers? I'm just starting to use UNIX after using Windows for years. Thanks.

I'm working on a system to monitor a wide-range of Unix platforms, and I'd like to know if HP-UX has anything similar to AIX's SMT (simultaneous multithreading)? If there a way to separate an HP-UX CPU into multiple logical partitions which can then act as multiple CPUs?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
Please excuse me if this is not the right forum to ask my question.
I would like to know more about writing device drivers for Unix,particularly Solaris 10.
excuse me if am being vague, but I have absolutely no idea about how i can start.
I did try to search for a beginners guide to... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am working in device drivers. I am new to device drivers. i have invoked chardev.c.
the driver is insmoded. now i want to write something into this and i want to look what i have written. but i don't know how to write and see. please help me (0 Replies)
Hi,
I have a POWER8 server running in Processor Implementation Mode: POWER 7.
I have 2 LPAR's, both are capped with 4 cores.
One of them displays:
Shared-SMT-4
and the other:
Dedicated-SMT-4
What is the difference when running in capped mode?
Thanks (1 Reply)
