>Description:
There is no sl(4) manual page describing the SLIP pseudo-device 'sl'.
>How-To-Repeat:
Take a look through a number of kernel config files. note the
lines like 'pseudo-device sl'. Try to figure out what the is
and how to manipulate it by saying 'man 4 sl'.
'man slip' yields the slattach manual page. this is arguably
bogus, as well, and should point to sl(4), which should reference
the slattach page.
>Fix:
Somebody should write a sl(4) manual page, etc.
