  	How about:
 
  	    Some chipset revisions can suffer from a receiver-side
  	    lockup bug. This can be mitigated by resetting the chip
  	    every sixteen seconds without traffic. Since the probe
  	    for affected chipsets generates false positives the
  	    workaround is not enabled by default, but the boot
  	    messages will indicate if an interface may have this
  	    issue. This option is enabled by setting the "link1"
  	    option with ifconfig(8).
