This sys/dev/ic is for bus-independand part of the drivers, so
yes, it is sort-of related to i386 port.

This is a more difficult question: there are 3 isa front-end for the
i82586 driver: ef, ai, and ix, for different model of i82586-based adapters.
I don't know which one is appropriate for your adapter. Maybe the manual
