In the FreeBSD forum post below, I explain having difficulty reading the
output of netstat -ibnhW. In short, I am trying to determine the network
usage from a network interface, but the one interface is listed once for
each subnet on the NIC.
http://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48226

There does not seem to be much guidance on how to read this output either
in the netstat(1) manpage or in the FreeBSD handbook.

Anyone think this warrants a doc update?
