I don't know how to make my FDDI card functional in version 4.3. I've just installed version 4.3 and reconfigured the kernel with "device fpa" and "pseudodevice fddi". Here's what I see: 1. At boot time, the card is detected as device "fpa0": fpa0: irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0 fpa0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims 2. It's impossible to get ifconfig to do anything with device fpa0. It always says: ifconfig: interface fpa0 does not exist 3. If I enter "ifconfig -l", it lists my Ethernet device and others, but not fpa0 4. Other network interfaces have a module in /modules, but there is no "if_fpa.ko" file. 5. Nothing for fpa in /dev either, MAKEDEV doesn't know how to make it, and no mention of fpa in the list of known major numbers in /usr/src/sys/conf/majors. It looks like there's a list of known network interfaces in the kernel. I assume the list is built when the kernel is loaded. Maybe there's some way to add fpa0 to the list of network interfaces, but I don't know what that is.
