>Number: 2099 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Description for fe0 on HARDWARE.TXT seems inappropriate >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Nov 25 00:10:03 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Masahiro Sekiguchi >Organization: Fujitsu Limited >Release: 2.2 ALPHA >Environment: N/A >Description: HARDWARE.TXT in distribution directory of 2.2 ALPHA lists devices in GENERIC kernel.

I suggests to use names of the Ethernet cards instead of their LSI. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Change the description to something like: "Allied-Telesis AT1700 and RE2000, and Fujitsu FMV-180 series." >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
