John Baldwin 390cee8729 - Create a separate section in in the MI NOTES file for PCI wireless NIC
drivers and move bwi(4) there from the PCI Ethernet NIC section.
- Move ath(4) and ral(4) to the MI NOTES file.

#####################################################################
# NETWORKING OPTIONS
#
# DEVICE_POLLING adds support for mixed interrupt-polling handling
# of network device drivers, which has significant benefits in terms
# of robustness to overloads and responsivity, as well as permitting
# accurate scheduling of the CPU time between kernel network processing
# and other activities. The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds)
# potential increase in response times.
# It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING
# to achieve smoother behaviour.
# Additionally, you can enable/disable polling at runtime with help of
# the ifconfig(8) utility, and select the CPU fraction reserved to
# userland with the sysctl variable kern.polling.user_frac
# (default 50, range 0..100).
#
# Not all device drivers support this mode of operation at the time of
# this writing. See polling(4) for more details.

# AUTO_EOI_1 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the master 8259A
# interrupt controller. This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt.
# This option breaks suspend/resume on some portables.
#
# AUTO_EOI_2 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the slave 8259A
# interrupt controller. This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt.
# Automatic EOI is documented not to work for for the slave with the
# original i8259A, but it works for some clones and some integrated
# versions.
#
# MAXMEM specifies the amount of RAM on the machine; if this is not
# specified, FreeBSD will first read the amount of memory from the CMOS
# RAM, so the amount of memory will initially be limited to 64MB or 16MB
# depending on the BIOS. If the BIOS reports 64MB, a memory probe will
# then attempt to detect the installed amount of RAM. If this probe
# fails to detect >64MB RAM you will have to use the MAXMEM option.
# The amount is in kilobytes, so for a machine with 128MB of RAM, it would
# be 131072 (128 * 1024).

# the `streams' device must be configured into any kernel which also
# specifies COMPAT_SVR4. It is possible to have a statically-configured
# STREAMS device and a dynamically loadable svr4 emulator; the /usr/sbin/svr4
# script understands that it doesn't need to load the `streams' module under
# those circumstances.
# Caveat: At this time, `options KTRACE' is required for the svr4 emulator
