Known bug, but not documented good enough. You should insert _two_
spaces before list entries:

 Currently this package will provide support for:
 .
  - winbond-840 chip and compatible, used on the Compex RL100ATX card
  - National Semiconductor DP8382x series PCI Ethernet
  - Sundance ST201 "Alta" PCI Ethernet
  - newer Tulip based cards

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
