I sent a patch yesterday, but didn't think to post it. Sorry about
that, attached.

One paragraph in there I would edit to
Ethernet switches are found in many embedded devices and some
multiport NICs. The switch framework is designed to easily control
basic switch management features like VLANs, QOS, and port
mirroring.
But it was not included in my patch because I wasn't sure of the
meaning.
