FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE, last CVSup'ed on January 25th.

>Description:

One minor typo in ifconfig(8) man page (impliments instead of implements)

One slightly more serious typo in ep(4) man page: according to TFS the
Etherlink ID port is 0x100, and not 0x110 as the man page states. I
can however confirm from personal experience that Trouble Awaits He
Who Places Another Card At Port 0x100.

OBTW, there is nothing in the source code that will produce the third
diagnostic message listed in the ep(4) man page... Should I be
surprised? ;)

Whoever wrote that man page, if you're ever in Oslo, Norway, I'll buy
you a beer :)

>How-To-Repeat:

% man ifconfig
% man ep

>Fix:

Below are unified diffs for both pages:
