Subject: [PATCH] doc: restore note about Intel cards

People using older versions of lldpd may not find this information
easily. So put it back in the README.

+Intel X710 cards may handle LLDP themselves, intercepting any incoming
+packets. If you don't see anything through `tcpdump`, check if you
+have such a card (with `lspci`) and stop the embedded LLDP daemon:

+    done

+This may also apply to the `ice` (Intel E8xx cards) driver. These
+steps are not necessary with a recent version of `lldpd` (1.0.11+).
