This section contains both devices which may be configured into the system and network related information. The networking support is introduced in netintro(4).
A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device and, if found, enable the software support for it. If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, the system will have to be rebooted.
The autoconfiguration system is described in autoconf(4). A list of the supported hardware and devices is given below.
“EV” stands for “Extended VAX” (or “Electro Vlassic”) and the number following is a reference to the CMOS process used to make the chips. “LCA” stands for Low Cost Alpha, and “PCA” stands for PC-architecture Alpha.
