There is a man page for the device (man fpa or man fea).

It's in sys/pci (if_pdq.c and pdq.c).  You need to pick up if_pdq.c and
pdq.c from -current since I have since made a few important bug fixes.

The driver is fully functional (in fact I switched my FreeBSD system
over to the building FDDI so that I don't even use Ethernet anymore).

I was doing some testing last Friday between a DECpc XL 590 and an
AlphaStation 400 4/233.  Using ttcp I could get over 10MB/s transmit
throughput over TCP and 12.3MB/s over UDP.

Cheers,
