There's no "MAKEDEV fpa" supported, and I don't what the major/minor numbers should be for a mknod. It wasn't clear to me that it needed to be in /dev since network interfaces aren't normally there. The file /usr/src/sys/conf/majors lists the assigned major numbers, but nothing for an "fpa" device. Should it be in /dev? How would I make the device file?
