>Description:
According to src/UPDATING:
20090521:
The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since
support for K10 and K11 CPU families was added.
However, this change was not reflected in the manual page. This leads to misunderstanding and frustration of users which are not reading UPDATING regularly.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a fresh RELENG_7 (newer than 20090521) say "man amdtemp" or as root "kldload
k8temp". You'll get an error in both cases.
>Fix:
Try to apply the attached patch (it is untested!!!) and rebuild/reinstall in src/share/man/man4.
