System: FreeBSD q.internal.closedsrc.org 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 #2: Sat Jun 5 19:22:58 PDT 2004 question at q.internal.closedsrc.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Q i386
>Description:
When looking through some of the man pages on Ethernet devices, I noticed that
the use of 'mbps' and 'Mbps' were inconsistent, even within the same man page.

The majority of the man pages uses 'Mbps' over 'mbps', so the patch below
replaces instances of 'mbps' with 'Mbps'.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/src/share/man/man4
grep -l 'mbps' *
grep -l 'Mbps' *
>Fix:
