Author: rwatson Date: Wed Jan 4 21:04:57 2012 New Revision: 229518 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/229518 Log: Adjust the VLAN section of the ifconfig(8) man page to better reflect reality: 1. Only 12-bit VLAN Identifiers, not full 16-bit VLAN tags can be set using ifconfig vlan. 2. When we mean VLAN Identifiers, spell it that way, rather than as VLAN tag.
