- s/gigabit/Gigabit/
- Talk about supported chips rather than supported cards as the majority
of the hardware supported by gem(4) is on-board.
- "the .Nm driver"
- Sort the list of supported chips alphabetically.
- Sun GEM aren't used on-board though, so don't claim they'd be.
- Add a CAVEATS section informing that Sun GEM cards aren't supported
so far.
