Thus spake Mike Silbersack (silby@silby.com):

The text in question is not descriminating.  It just mentions, that
the docs and the design are bad.  It's up to one himself if he wants
a cheap NIC and live with malformed data, or if he wants a better
NIC.  However, I think it's quite important to tell people at least what
a bad chip they are using, and the driver manpage is the correct place
for this.

Just my 0,02 cents,

Alex
