>Description:
The ie driver (isa) has been made MI. The isa driver is now called
ix, but the manpage has not been changed to reflect the change in
name.
Given that the driver is now MI, should it be moved from man4.i386?
I also notice that the iy driver refers to the ie manpage.
>How-To-Repeat:
man ix
man ie
