Documentation: e100: Fix docs build error

Recent patch updated e100 docs to rst format.  Docs build (`make
htmldocs`) is currently failing due to this file with error:

	(SEVERE/4) Unexpected section title.

This is because a section of the file is indented 2 spaces.  Build error
can be cleared by aligning the text with column 0.  While we are changing
these lines we can make sure line length does not exceed 72, that
newlines following headings are uniform, and that full stops are
followed by two spaces.

Align text with column 0, limit line length to 72, ensure two spaces
follow all full stops, ensure uniform use of newlines after heading.

Fixes commit (85d63445 Documentation: e100: Update the Intel 10/100 driver doc)

Additional Configurations
=========================
Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
-------------------------------------------------
Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
an alias line to /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf as well as editing other system
startup scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux
distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the
proper way to configure a network device for your system, refer to your
distribution documentation. If during this process you are asked for the
driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel
PRO/100 Family of Adapters is e100.
As an example, if you install the e100 driver for two PRO/100 adapters
(eth0 and eth1), add the following to a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/

Viewing Link Messages
---------------------
In order to see link messages and other Intel driver information on your
console, you must set the dmesg level up to six. This can be done by
entering the following on the command line before loading the e100 driver::

The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool
version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.

WoL is provided through the ethtool* utility. For instructions on enabling
WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page.

Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network

Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
------------------------------------------------------
Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
