ugen(4) manual page

2001-01-25 Thread Ben Smithurst
How accurately does the NetBSD ugen(4) manual page describe FreeBSD's ugen(4)? If it's accurate as it is, or can easily be fixed (any volunteers?), I think we should just take it. :-) Perhaps my removing of the .Xr ugen 4 from usb(4) was a bit premature... never mind.
