FWIIW, it is not clear to me that the sentence that is being updated is
grammatically correct either before or after the change: some words seem to
be missing.

Perhaps:

A bigger CQE can have more receive buffer pointers, and in turn the NIC can
transfer a bigger frame from the wire.

Also, 'NIC/ -> 'the NIC' in the previous sentence.

And there should be a space before each '('/

I guess this document could do with an edit.

But, regardless of my comments above, your changes look like
good steps in the right direction to me. Thanks.
