New Revision: 215780
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/215780

Log:
  Remove the description of the link0 link option, since r215297 the master
  media option generally should be used instead. Actually I think the lists
  of media types should be removed from the manual pages of MAC drivers
  altogether and users just pointed to the output of `ifconfig -m` instead;
  even before r215297 there were several outdated descriptions, technically
  it's wrong most of the time as not the MAC drivers support these media
  types but actually the PHY drivers do and it generally doesn't make sense
  to maintain these lists in every manual page of a driver as the media is
  auto-detected.
