Description Joel Dahl 2004-12-29 23:20:25 UTC

LINT does not exist on 5.x by default (yes, I know, you can still
build it), so pointing users to this file is wrong.
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES contains
information about various network interfaces, so a more correct
approach would be to point users to these files instead.

Suggested patch attached.
