In RELNOTES of 2.0.5 ALPHA, "2.2 Ethernet cards", the Ethernet interface supported by fe driver is explained as "Fujitsu MB86960A family of NICs." # Thank you core team for integrating it in official distribution. It is technically correct, but I'd like to suggest to use the names of the cards, just like other drivers. For example, ed-driver-supported interfaces are listed as "SMC Elite ..., Novell NE1000, NE2000, ..." instead of "National Semiconductor DS8390." I enclosed a proposed patch to the RELNOTES. One more (digressive?) comments on the same part of RELNOTES. The title of the section reads "Ethernet cards", but it lists an FDDI card! How abount change it as "Ethernet (and other network) cards"?
