media option generally should be used instead. Actually I think the lists
of media types should be removed from the manual pages of MAC drivers
altogether and users just pointed to the output of `ifconfig -m` instead;
even before r215297 there were several outdated descriptions, technically
it's wrong most of the time as not the MAC drivers support these media
types but actually the PHY drivers do and it generally doesn't make sense
to maintain these lists in every manual page of a driver as the media is
auto-detected.
and updated comments in the usb_quirk.h header file.
The main purpose of this is to expose the quirks for ejecting 3G
modules. usb_modeswitch in Linux does a great job of collecting
information on these, and with the quirks module people can try out the
modeswitch config file entries on FreeBSD, hence the SCSI strings in the
man page.

numbers. bge(4) supports too many models such that it's
unreasonable to list all these controllers in one line description
of name. While I'm here mention that BCM590x/BCM5779x is Fast
Ethernet controller.
bge(4) still lacks support for some controllers but supporting
these controllers should be easy now and adding new controllers
do not require touching .Nd any more.

supported device. re(4) had been supported all variants of RTL8168,
RTL8111 and RTL810x. I think this change will cover all controllers
supported by re(4).

existing code caused problems with some SCSI controllers.
A new sysctl kern.cam.ada.spindown_shutdown has been added that controls
whether or not to spin-down disks when shutting down.
Spinning down the disks unloads/parks the heads - this is
much better than removing power when the disk is still
spinning because otherwise an Emergency Unload occurs which may cause damage
to the actuator.

It's a bit more pedantic regarding .Bl list elements. This has an added
benefit of unbreaking the ipfw(8) manpage, where groff was silently
skipping one list element.
Note that this still seems to be a little bit confusing as the concept of
"master" is different from what people would expect on a networking
equipment.
