>Description:

The puc.4 man page does not contain any references to the uart(4)
driver and the statement "...still uses the same structure to
describe the cards..." is not quite correct anymore. Please refer
to the attached diff. I think my changes/additions make sense.
Thanks.


>How-To-Repeat:

man 4 puc
