Hello,

The man page for ifmedia(4) identifies media types defined for Ethernet under 
the heading "MEDIA TYPES AND OPTIONS FOR ETHERNET", but it omits several such 
types defined by #include <net/if_media.h>:

IFM_HPNA_1                      /* HomePNA 1.0 (1Mb/s) */
IFM_10G_LRM             /* 10GBase-LRM 850nm Multi-mode */
IFM_40G_CR4             /* 40GBase-CR4 */
IFM_40G_SR4             /* 40GBase-SR4 */
IFM_40G_LR4             /* 40GBase-LR4 */
IFM_1000_KX             /* 1000Base-KX backplane */
IFM_10G_KX4             /* 10GBase-KX4 backplane */
IFM_10G_KR                      /* 10GBase-KR backplane */
IFM_10G_CR1             /* 10GBase-CR1 Twinax splitter */
IFM_20G_KR2             /* 20GBase-KR2 backplane */
IFM_2500_KX             /* 2500Base-KX backplane */
IFM_5000_T                      /* 5000Base-T - RJ45 (NBaseT) */
IFM_1000_SGMII          /* 1G media interface */
IFM_10G_SFI                     /* 10G media interface */
IFM_40G_XLPPI           /* 40G media interface */
IFM_1000_CX_SGMII       /* 1000Base-CX-SGMII */
IFM_40G_KR4             /* 40GBase-KR4 */
IFM_10G_ER                      /* 10GBase-ER */
IFM_100G_CR4            /* 100GBase-CR4 */
IFM_100G_SR4            /* 100GBase-SR4 */
IFM_100G_KR4            /* 100GBase-KR4 */
IFM_100G_LR4            /* 100GBase-LR4 */
IFM_56G_R4                      /* 56GBase-R4 */
IFM_25G_CR                      /* 25GBase-CR */
IFM_25G_KR                      /* 25GBase-KR */
IFM_25G_SR                      /* 25GBase-SR */
IFM_50G_CR2             /* 50GBase-CR2 */
IFM_50G_KR2             /* 50GBase-KR2 */
IFM_25G_LR                      /* 25GBase-LR */
IFM_25G_ER                      /* 25GBase-ER */
IFM_10G_AOC             /* 10G Active Optical Cable */
IFM_25G_AOC             /* 25G Active Optical Cable */
IFM_40G_AOC             /* 40G Active Optical Cable */
IFM_100G_AOC            /* 100G Active Optical Cable */

I suggest revising the man page to address these omissions.

Thank you for your assistance.
