+===== Notes =====
-    Interface - Wireless VIF name.
-    Enabled - If this VIF should be active and brought online.
-    SSID - Wireless Service Set Identifier.
-    Mode - Interface mode: Access Point, WDS, Wireless Client, etc...
-    Bridge - Which LAN bridge this VIF should be assigned.
-    Other relevant notes/hints:
-        When creating/defining a new wireless VIF, it's MAC address will be shown (incorrectly) as '00:00:00:00:00:00', as it's unknown at that moment (until network is restarted and this page is reloaded).
-        When saving changes, the MAC addresses of all defined non-primary wireless VIFs could sometimes be (already) set but might be recreated by the WL driver (so that previously defined/saved settings might need to be updated/changed accordingly on Advanced/MAC Address after saving settings and rebooting your router).
-        This web interface allows configuring a maximum of 4 VIFs for each physical wireless interface available - up to 3 extra VIFs can be defined in addition to the primary VIF (on devices with multiple VIF capabilities).
-        By definition, configuration settings for the primary VIF of any physical wireless interfaces shouldn't be touched here (use the Basic/Network page instead).
+  - When creating/defining a new wireless VIF (Virtual interface), its MAC address will be shown (incorrectly) as '00:00:00:00:00:00', as it is unknown at that moment. It will display correctly as soon as the the network is restarted and this menu is reloaded.
+  - When saving changes, the MAC addresses of all defined non-primary wireless VIFs could sometimes be (already) set but might be recreated by the wl driver (Broadcom's proprietary wireless LAN driver). Thus, previously defined/saved settings might need to be updated/changed accordingly in the Advanced/MAC Address menu after saving settings and rebooting your router.
+  - The Tomato web interface allows configuration of a maximum of 4 VIFs for each physical wireless interface available - up to 3 extra VIFs can be defined in addition to the primary VIF (on devices with multiple VIF capabilities).
+  - Configuration settings for the primary VIF of any physical wireless interfaces shouldn't be adjusted in this menu. Use the Basic/Network page for that instead.
