- * Proteon 10 Meg Ring Driver.
- * This device is called "vv" because its "real name",
- * V2LNI won't work if shortened to the obvious "v2".
- * Hence the subterfuge.
+ * Proteon proNET-10 and proNET-80 token ring driver.
+ * The name of this device driver derives from the old MIT
+ * name of V2LNI for the proNET hardware, would would abbreviate
+ * to "v2", but this won't work right. Thus the name is "vv".
+ *
+ * This driver is compatible with the proNET 10 meagbit and
+ * 80 megabit token ring interfaces (models p1000 and p1080).
+ * A unit may be marked as 80 megabit using "flags 1" in the
+ * config file.
+ *
+ * TRAILERS: This driver has a new implementation of trailers that
+ * is at least a tolerable neighbor on the ring. The offset is not
+ * stored in the protocol type, but instead only in the vh_info
+ * field. Also, the vh_info field, and the two shorts before the
+ * trailing header, are in network byte order, not VAX byte order.
+ *
+ * Of course, nothing but BSD UNIX supports trailers on ProNET.
+ * If you need interoperability with anything else, turn off
+ * trailers using the -trailers option to /etc/ifconfig!
+ *
+ * HARDWARE COMPATABILITY: This driver prefers that the HSBU (p1001)
+ * have a serial number >= 040, which is about March, 1982. Older
+ * HSBUs do not carry across 64kbyte boundaries. They can be supported
+ * by adding "| UBA_NEED16" to the vs_ifuba.ifu_flags initialization
+ * in vvattach().
