	Thanks guys! I have updated the manual page accordingly.  I was
	thinking about the NetBSD mii(4) for a second there, but now I
	am back to the real world. 8-)

	Once I get a go ahead from re@ and my mentor (des), I will
	commit it.  I have already got approval from Julian, who
	imported the driver in the first place.

	Cheers!
