fpa0: <Digital DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller> port 0xe400-0xe47f mem
0xfafd0000-0xfafdffff,0xfafee000-0xfafee07f irq 4 at device 6.0 on pci0
fpa0: DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI SAS Controller
fpa0: FDDI address 00:00:f8:40:e4:a8, FW=2.46, HW=0, SMT V7.2
fpa0: FDDI Port = S (PMD = Unshielded Twisted Pair)
Seems to work fine for me.

Well, you've got 1 card family to pick from with several different models
(bus type and media).
I'm guessing that you're not gonna be getting any EISA boards so you'll
want to get a 'DEFPA-??' where ?? indicates the media.
I keep meaning to spend some time to resync our drivers with NetBSD's and
to convert over the PCI bus front end stuff but haven't gotten around to
it; this is the reason for this message:
fpa0: driver is using old-style compatability shims
which doesn't affect the operation of the board.
