Just a comment on the formatting.... The hardware list would look a
lot better if formatted as a table; e.g.:

Network interfaces
    Gigabit Ethernet
	Driver	Chipset		Supports these devices
	ti	Alteon Tigon 1	Alteon ACEnic, Netgear GA620,
		and Tigon 2	3Com 3C985, [...]
	sk	XaQti XMAC	SysKonnect SK-982x and SK-984x
	wx	Intel 82452	Intel EtherExpress PRO/1000

    Wireless
	Driver	Chipset		Supports these devices
	wi	Lucent/Harris	Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE, Cabletron
		PRISM II	RoamAbout 802.11, [...]

Providing the name of the driver helps new users to know which device
to select in sysinstall when asked for installation media (or disks to
partition) and also makes the document a bit more useful outside the
installation mechanism.
