   Hey there.  I suspect that the man pages are just kinda old, and  
maybe even incorrect, so I wanted to ask.  I just acquired an SBUS  
10/100 card, sun part number 501-2655.  This part number is mentioned  
in the qec(4) man page, but not the be(4) man page.  I think this  
should be added to the be(4) man page.

   Also, the be(4) man page mentions that there is no link  
autonegotiation.  But, at least on my 4.0_BETA2 system, it seems to  
have an auto mode.  I'm not certain it didn't just try the MII for a  
while, then fall back to trying the RJ45, but.  The two listed media  
options in the be(4) man page don't even mention anything about media  
or mediaopt options for selecting the RJ45 or MII.  And, someone  
must've added auto-link-speed negotiation, since mine seems to be  
doing that.

   Thanks.  Would appreciate clarification of any of this, and man  
page updates.  :-)
