two supermicro ones that should work (actually I developped it on the first
supermicro one).

# 1.39 28-Oct-2008 brad

Update for VLAN tag insertion and stripping support.


# 1.38 25-Oct-2008 jsg

Add 82571GB/82572GI to the list.

"The devices can also have a 82571GB or 82572GI marking (instead of
82571EB or 82572EI); the 82571GB and 82572GI devices are used only on
Intel network interface adapters. The 82571GB is functionally equivalent
to the 82571EB and the 82572GI is functionally equivalent to the
82572EI."

From ftp://download.intel.com/design/network/specupdt/82571EB_72EI.pdf

Indeed the 82572GI shows up as the "Intel PRO/1000 PT (82572EI)" pci id.

Incomplete section 4 mi manual page cleanup.
- make configuration lines match GENERIC files
- more Xr (hopefully usefule Xr)
- never mention intro(4) on non-physical devices (i.e. protocols), always
mention it for physical devices
- random text style and quoting fixes
- drivers ported from FreeBSD did mention rc.conf instead of hostname.if as
the place to put mediaopt
- some .Tn UNIX -> .Ox replacements
