The removal seems incomplete; the next line still says "for 5.X", which is 
as unsupported as 4.X.  It seems like someone should test the code snippet 
on a recent release and remove the version specificity in the document if 
possible.  Furthermore, there remains text about installing this driver on 
FreeBSD 4.X at the bottom of the page.
