| revision 1.286.2.58
| date: 1998/08/24 18:17:50;  author: wpaul;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -1
| Add XL driver and man page to the 2.2 branch.
| 
| Update sys/conf/files to include xl driver.
| Update GENERIC and LINT.
| Update sys/pci/if_vx_pci.c to not probe Etherlink XL cards anymore.
| Update man4/man4.i386/Makefile to install new man page (correctly this
| time!).
|
| This version of the driver is current up to today. Both versions
| should remain in sync, unless I screw up.

If you don't feel comfortable with installing the driver by hand, you
might consider updating your sources to anything after 1998/08/24, as
indicated by the log message above.

Details on updating 2.2.8 sources using CVSup, see:
