--- Comment #1 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
The temptation is for
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/advanced-networking/> 

> Advanced networking

– to become simply: 

> Networking

It's not quite so simple, because (at least) the first paragraph under
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/advanced-networking/#advanced-networking-synopsis>
is: 

> This chapter covers a number of advanced networking topics.

Then, supposedly: 

> … Before reading this chapter, you should: … Know how to 
> configure and install a new FreeBSD kernel …

For the quick start at
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/advanced-networking/#network-wireless-quick-start>
– a "very common situation" – it's quite unnecessary to have that depth of
knowledge about the kernel.
