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.
