Hi,

after a posting from Robert Huff <roberthuffi at rcn dot com> on
current@ and some private mails it turned out that there is a
documentation error.

The LinkSys EG1032 is supported by re(4) not nge(4).
I couldn't find the ID for the EG1064 anywhere in our sources
so I removed the reference. We might for sure support it if someone
adds the ID to the correct driver but I don't know.

Looks like there might be more cleanup needed in this area, maybe
with help from someone who know all the history of those drivers?

Greetings bz@
