Author: yongari Date: Tue Nov 16 00:32:17 2010 New Revision: 215362 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/215362 Log: MFC r214968: Use shorten model name instead of showing all controller model numbers. bge(4) supports too many models such that it's unreasonable to list all these controllers in one line description of name. While I'm here mention that BCM590x/BCM5779x is Fast Ethernet controller. bge(4) still lacks support for some controllers but supporting these controllers should be easy now and adding new controllers do not require touching .Nd any more.
