 Thanks for the clarification.  I've revised my patch to accurately 
 reflect both what the ARP protocol does, and what the FreeBSD 
 implementation does.  Let me know how it looks.

   .Sh SYNOPSIS
   .Cd "pseudo-device ether"
   .Sh DESCRIPTION
 -The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol used to dynamically
 -map between Internet host addresses and 10Mb/s Ethernet addresses.
 -It is used by all the 10Mb/s Ethernet interface drivers.
 -It is not specific to Internet protocols or to 10Mb/s Ethernet,
 -but this implementation currently supports only that combination.
 +The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to dynamically
 +map between Protocol Addresses (such as IP addresses) and Local Network
 +Addresses (such as Ethernet addresses).
 +This implementation maps IP addresses to Ethernet, ARCnet, or Token Ring
 +addresses.
 +It is used by all the Ethernet interface drivers.
   .Pp
 -ARP caches Internet-Ethernet address mappings.
 +ARP caches address mappings.
   When an interface requests a mapping for an address not in the cache,
   ARP queues the message which requires the mapping and broadcasts
   a message on the associated network requesting the address mapping.
