1a45e35d8c From the PR:
1.  Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence
    fragment immediately following.
    [ not applicable to HEAD ]

2.  Add FDDI section to table of contents (see #5 below) and add
    one line of whitespace.

3.  In userland section, document csh->tcsh, more->less, and
    colorized ls.

4.  In Ethernet section, do:

        s/gigabit ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet/
        s/fast ethernet/Fast Ethernet/
        s/ethernet/Ethernet/

5.  Pull DEC DEFPA/DEFEA *FDDI* cards out of the *Ethernet* section
    and into their own second-level section.

6.  Add missing period in section header in ATM section.

7.  Tweak upgrading sectio with some new text, not sure if this is
    much better though.

8.  Add a blurb about the -stable mailing list.
    [ changed to -current list in HEAD ]

966a32cd5b Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet
controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).

I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).

I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
