>Description:
See patch for grammar nits. Also, I have 2 questions:

1- What does "lair" mean or stand for in the following excerpt?

  Setting
  .Dv "FE_DEBUG=2"
  makes standard debugging codes be included,
  setting the amount of logged messages middle.
  Messages on lair events and/or questionable conditions
  are logged under this setting.

Obvious possibilities popping into mind are "rare" or "layer", but I'm not sure which (if either).

2- Shouldn't the mention of XNS (and IPX?) be removed, given that it's no longer supported in recent kernels?
