Hi,

please do not quote the _entire_ original mail at the end of the text,
but rather only small portion to which you refer, _before_ your
answer.

It is also nice to insert a line break every 70 or so characters.

Usually it displays the name of the device, the bus it is attached to,
the name of the card, or at least of the chip, the network connector
types available and used (e. g. 10base2, 10baseT, ...), and the
hardware address.

Every driver does this in a slightly different way, maybe one should
file a "change-request" PR to make it consistent accross all drivers
of the same type. But then again this does not seem to have high
priority.
