-<p class="Pp">This section describes the special files, related driver
- functions, and networking support available in the system. In this part of
- the manual, the SYNOPSIS section of each configurable device gives a sample
- specification for use in constructing a system description for the
- <a class="Xr">config(1)</a> program. The DIAGNOSTICS section lists messages
- which may appear on the console and/or in the system error log
- <span class="Pa">/var/log/messages</span> due to errors in device operation;
- see <a class="Xr">syslogd(8)</a> for more information.</p>
-<p class="Pp">This section contains both devices which may be configured into
- the system and network related information. The networking support is
- introduced in <a class="Xr">netintro(4)</a>.</p>

- SUPPORT</a></h1>
-<p class="Pp">This section describes the hardware supported by
- <span class="Ux">NetBSD</span>/arc. Software support for these devices comes
- in two forms. A hardware device may be supported with a character or block
- <a class="permalink" href="#device"><i class="Em" id="device">device
- driver</i></a>, or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
- <a class="permalink" href="#network"><i class="Em" id="network">network
- interface driver</i></a>. Block and character devices are accessed through
- files in the file system of a special type; see <a class="Xr">mknod(8)</a>.
- Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
- communication facilities provided by the system; see
- <a class="Xr">socket(2)</a>.</p>
-<p class="Pp">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 must be rebooted.</p>
-<p class="Pp">The autoconfiguration system is described in
- <a class="Xr">autoconf(4)</a>. A list of the supported devices is given
- below.</p>
