A hardware 71device may be supported with a character or block 72.Em device driver , 73or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a 74.Em network interface driver . 75Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file 76system of a special type; see 77.Xr mknod 8 . 78Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess 79communication facilities provided by the system; see 80.Xr socket 2 . 81.Pp 82A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time 83and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled 84into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the 85autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device 86and, if found, enable the software support for it. 87If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration 88time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. 89To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, 90the system will have to be rebooted. 91.Pp 92The autoconfiguration system is described in 93.Xr autoconf 4 . 94A list of the supported devices is given below. 95.Sh HISTORY 96The 97.Tn Amiga 98.Nm intro 99man page first appeared in 100.Nx 1.0a 101.Sh SEE ALSO 102.Xr intro 4 , 103.Xr intro 4 , 104.Xr autoconf 4 , 105.Xr config.new 8 . 106.Sh LIST OF DEVICES 107The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of 108the system.
