I finally figured out the syntax after staring at it. The formatting had me
very confused. I was using a direct connection like this:
/etc/ethers
Mac address IP address
which seems to work fine.
The instructions have an intermediate link to the hosts file that doesn't
seem necessary. The Hosts file is formatted:
/etc/hosts
IP address host name
And then the ethers file is
/etc/ethers
Mac address host name
I managed to get the two confused reading the info as displayed since it's a
little inconsistent. I have tried it and it works both ways, either with the
ip address in the ethers file or through the hosts file.

Ok, I now get what you are asking to be fixed, but can you please quote the
part of the page that you think is incorrect?
Following the "Linux" link near the top seems to give correct information.
