- For the sake of completeness mention back-end support for the ILACC
and add a list of known-working PCI devices. - For consistency throughout this man page also talk about C-Bus and ISA adapters rather than cards. - Add missing .Tn. - Mention ifconfig(8) along with listing selectable media types. - Add/un-comment hardware notes for the newly supported 'lebuffer' variants (the transition from P/N 501-1860 to 501-1869 isn't a typo).
