If given an interface named "foo0", I would expect a user needing
detailed information (particularly for performance tuning) would type
"man foo" first, rather than roaming around the Internet looking for
clues.

Perhaps an RFE for displaying driver-related performance tuning
information (not just MTU, but use of VLANs and number of local and
multicast MAC addresses and so on) would be useful, but I'm not
convinced that it's really this project's issue.
