so that packets can be routed to it. | |||||

An Ethernet header will be prepended and, if the | |||||
.Nm | |||||

What are the post-git-migration rules for new imported manual pages? Does $FreeBSD$ stay? Do "$Mdocdate:" and "$" get stripped out? (Question, not change request. I don't know and would like someone who does to look at it.)
