I've just done a fresh install of 4.2 to test FreeBSD on an internal FDDI backbone. I've modified the GENERIC configuration by adding these two lines device fpa # DEFPA pseudo-device fddi # DEFPA The kernel seems to rebuild without error, though I've noticed that there isn't a /modules/if_fpa.ko file as there is for the Ethernet card. When rebooting, I see these messages on the console: fpa0: <Digital DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller> irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0 fpa0: driver is using old-style compatability shims The card is installed and connected, however, any attempt to use ifconfig to configure it results in the message ifconfig: interface fpa0 does not exist What more needs to be done to have the device recognized?
