- Capitalize Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
- Add a NOTES section with information regarding the "local-mac-address?" system configuration variable on sparc64 and add a reference to eeprom(8) for using it. Dump document date for this. - In dc.4, add the on-board DM9102A on Sun Netra X1 and Sun Fire V100 to the list of known working devices.
