-#  Number of Ethernet-over-EtherCAT interfaces every master shall create
-#  on startup. Default is 0.
+# There are three formats for specifying ethernet devices:
+# 1) MAC address (example: "00:00:08:44:55:66"). Specify the MAC address of
+#    the ethernet card to use.
+# 2) PCI bus address (example: "01:1c.0"). Specify the PCU bis address of the
+#    ethernet card to use.
+# 3) Driver and device index (example: "8139too:0"). Currently there are two
+#    drivers available: "8139too" and "e100". The device index is the index
+#    into driver-supported PCI cards.
 #
-#EOE_INTERFACES=0
-
+# The MASTERX_DEVICE variables also determine, how many masters will be
+# created: A non-empty variable MASTER0_DEVICE will create one master, adding
+# a non-empty variable MASTER1_DEVICE will create a second master, and so on.
