Author: delphij Date: Tue Oct 19 17:49:55 2010 New Revision: 214066 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/214066 Log: Clarify that lagg(4) sends/receives on active port, not the master port. Note that this still seems to be a little bit confusing as the concept of "master" is different from what people would expect on a networking equipment.
