>Release:        2.2 ALPHA
>Organization:
Fujitsu Limited
>Environment:
N/A
>Description:
HARDWARE.TXT in distribution directory of 2.2 ALPHA lists devices in GENERIC kernel.  It describes the fe0 device as "Fujitsu MB86960A/MB86965A cards."

I think this is too "technology-biased" and many users of fe compatible Ethernet cards will not recognize fe0 supports their cards.

I suggests to use names of the Ethernet cards instead of their LSI.

>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Change the description to something like:
"Allied-Telesis AT1700 and RE2000, and Fujitsu FMV-180 series."
