- Capitalize Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.

- Add a NOTES section with information regarding the "local-mac-address?"
  system configuration variable on sparc64 and add a reference to eeprom(8)
  for using it. Dump document date for this.
- In dc.4, add the on-board DM9102A on Sun Netra X1 and Sun Fire V100 to
  the list of known working devices.

system configuration variable for the built in Sun DMFE 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
interfaces on Sun Netra X1 and Sun Fire V100.
This system configuration variable can be set in the Open Firmware boot
monitor using the
.Ic setenv
command or by

If set to
.Dq Li false

driver will use the system's default MAC address for both of the built in
devices.
If set to

the unique MAC address of each interface is used rather than the system's
