New Revision: 356773
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/356773

Log:
  MFC r356688, r356694: tap(4) manpage improvements
  
  r356688:
  Install tap(4) manpage as vmnet(4) as well
  
  If one comes across a vmnet interface, this is a useful pointer to have
  towards what it actually is if they're otherwise unfamiliar.
  
  r356694:
  tap(4): also note that we drop configured addresses
  
  This provides a specific pointer for users of tap(4) to understand why their
  interfaces are losing their addresses, and specifically how to workaround
  this if they need different behavior.
  
  This manpage received a .Dd bump earlier today in r35688, so no bump occurs
  this time.
