 It appears that the probe on alpha is quite incomplete, judging from the
 messages the kernel displays on boot:
 
 	Alpha probe messages:
 fpa0: <Digital DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller> port 0x9000-0x907f mem
 0x80950000-0x80
 95ffff,0x80975000-0x8097507f irq 4 at device 11.0 on pci0
 fpa0: interrupting at CIA irq 4
 fpa0: driver is using old-style compatability shims
 
 	Intel probe messages:
 fpa0: <Digital DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller> port 0xe400-0xe47f mem
 0xfbf90000-0xfbf9ffff,0xfbfaf000-0xfbfaf07f irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0
 fpa0: DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI SAS Controller
 fpa0: FDDI address 00:00:f8:43:c4:53, FW=3.10, HW=1, SMT V7.2
 fpa0: FDDI Port = S (PMD = ANSI Multi-Mode)
 fpa0: driver is using old-style compatability shims
 
 The missing messages are produced by pdq_print_fddi_chars() which
 is only called by pdq_process_command_responses(). It appears the 
 kernel cannot send commands to the card correctly (and/or receive
 the commands). This is in line with the fact that ifconfig can UP
 the interface but never a RING UP condition is detected.
