Hi.

I tried to use a DEC DEFPA in my Sun Ultra 5 yesterday:
fpa0 at pci2 dev 1 function 0: DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI DAS Controller
fpa0: FDDI address 00:50:b4:85:f0:ea, FW=3.10, HW=0, SMT V7.2
fpa0: FDDI Port = A (PMD = ANSI Multi-Mode), FDDI Port[B] = B (PMD =
ANSI Multi-Mode)

I got the same result with a 64 bit and a 32 bit 1.6ZF kernel:
# ifconfig fpa0 192.168.1.14
fpa0: Unsolicited Event: Station: Unknown Event #0
fpa0: Unsolicited Event: Station: Unknown Event #0
[this continues for ever]

fpa(4) works well on a PPC machine (PReP, IBM RS/6000 43P-100) and on
Alpha. So this seams to be rather SPARC speciffic.
