 -------------------------------------
 
 BPF previously introduced special instructions for access to packet data that were
-carried over from classic BPF. However, these instructions are
+carried over from classic BPF. These instructions used an instruction
+class of BPF_LD, a size modifier of BPF_W, BPF_H, or BPF_B, and a
+mode modifier of BPF_ABS or BPF_IND.  However, these instructions are
 deprecated and should no longer be used.  All legacy packet access
 instructions belong to the "legacy" conformance group instead of the "basic"
 conformance group.
